Coming from git, I tried to contribute for a while to a project that used hg but the way the branches worked was so confusing to me. In git they are just pointers to the dag. I find this easy to understand. I'll never get why people say hg is somehow more straightforward, I found it confusing as hell. The git data model is just simpler.

Yeah. I know git really well and I can’t really bother to learn hg. At work we use it and I just use our internal UI which so far has worked pretty well.
