Once again, I dunno. My observation is that non-software industries are leery of git. My last four clients have all used svn or hg. So am guessing that it depends on the need for centralized control and who you have available to run these systems.

I do mostly hardware engineering -code is a secondary by-product. So my tools poorly represent what most of you need. For my colleagues and myself, Hg is it where distributed stuff is required. For my personal stuff, svn is it.

you know, I have never explored anything but git. I'm aware of the esixtence of mercurial, svn, and hg but have never looked into it.

I think git for me was just the thing I learned at work and just continued using even in personal projects. Do you mind elaborating on why you prefer svn for personal stuff? I'm gonna look into it too :)
