Bugs Everywhere
by Spone
& 1 other
Bugs Everywhere is a “distributed bugtracker”, designed to complement distributed revision control systems. By using distributed revision control as a backend for bug state, we gain several convenient features:
* Bugs and code that live on branches are tracked together—when a branch is merged, both the code changes and bug changes that the branch contains are merged alongside each other. We no longer have to be confused about whether a fix that is applied to the development branch but not yet present in the production branch means that our bug is “fixed”.
* Users can fully modify bug state while offline, unlike with many centralized bugtrackers.
* When a user checks out your source code, she gets the current bug state for free.
* We can still provide access to a friendly web interface for users—in this model, a web interface becomes just another client that merges with the main repository.
DVCSAnalysis - support - Analysis of Git and Mercurial - Google Code

This document summarizes the initial research for adding distributed version control as an option for Google Code. Based on popularity, two distributed version control systems were considered: Git and Mercurial. This document describes the features of the two systems, and provides an overview of the work required to integrate them with Google Code.
Arc's Soy Machine: git vs mercurial
by karlcow
In contrast with my earlier attempts at migrating to git, mercurial was actually a joy to setup on the server. WSGI, using our existing .htusers file from Trac, a small config script, done. This contrast to git which would require some funky SSH sandboxing and/or PAM setup - yes it can be done, but such hacks shouldn't be needed.
To all our surprise "hg clone" was extremely fast even compared to subversion and especially in comparison to git.

TortoiseHg - Mercurial
by parmentierf
(via)
TortoiseHg is an all-inclusive Mercurial binary installer package for Windows, which provides a windows explorer extension (shell extension), so that Mercurial commands can be executed from the context menu of the explorer.
Command line "hg" is included as well. No other packages are needed (for example, Python is already included as a dll).
Includes several dialogs, for example for committing and history viewing/diffing. Also includes a MergeProgram and software for ssh server access.

InfoQ: Distributed Version Control Systems: A Not-So-Quick Guide Through
by ghis
& 5 others
Since Linus Torvalds presentation at Google about git in May 2007, the adoption and interest for Distributed Version Control Systems has been constantly rising. We will introduce the concept of Distributed Version Control, see when to use it, why it may be better than what you're currently using, and have a look at three actors in the area: git, Mercurial and Bazaar.
