Thanks for telling, I found the rebase extension on my own but I don't know what Mercurial users are using unless you tell me and I would not have found the evolve extension on my own :D I will probably check it out, to be fair it seems unlikely to "unseat the incumbent" git, but I've sampled my fair share of VCS including Git, SVN, CVS, RCS, Fossil, and have never really made it around to Mercurial. None of those others that I know of recently seem to have a vocal following, other than both of Git and Mercurial now, I guess. |

It will not, as they are more or less the same. People already on git have no good reason to switch. The only real benefit mercurial has is being friendlier. It may prove beneficial for new teams, but these days most people are already familiar with git and will put up with its pains (or rather, be oblivious to its pains).
Mostly an accident of history. If mercurial had initially gotten popular, I doubt anyone would be using git today.
