After it became clear that darcs wasn't going to win the next gen source control wars I switched to mercurial. I now use and love git for its own charms, but I'd love to come across mercurial again professionally.

I own up to my preference to rewrite history—git has facilitated that in equal measure to mercurial—but my first source control love is mercurial queues. Queues taught me how to structure and sequence my changesets, and through that the structure of codebase evolution. The user experience is still unmatched by any patch queue on git.

Check out the mercurial evolve extension. You can now do all kinds of local rewriting, collapsing, whatever using regular mercurial commits.
