I can almost understand with something like Subversion (which seems to subtly skew the entire development process to work around the friction some of its basic operations introduce), but not even Mercurial? :(

Not even Mercurial :) Haha j/k I actually don't mind Mercurial, but I'd still rather work with git.

They're essentially identical. Mercurial just has slightly easier to understand syntax and and a cultural bias against rebasing.

Nope. Mercurial devs rebase heavily during Mercurial development, for instance. It's Changeset Evolution [1] that makes history rewriting _safe_.
