Tracking down preed, JST, joduin, bsmedberg, etc might turn up stories.

Some of it is captured by preed in https://soberbuildengineer.com/blog/2006/11/version-control-... and announcing hg in https://soberbuildengineer.com/blog/2007/04/version-control-...

JST post on bzr vs hg perf, https://web.archive.org/web/20070219012211/http://weblogs.mo...

If you look closely, I linked to preed's posts. :) (look for "colorful")

Jst's post is linked from the second one. (but is a dead link)
