We spent a week trying to make Mercurial work for us, and gave up. Not for any of the reasons Spolsky gives - we gave up because we weren't able to get anything done; we were making changes and losing them. I'm sure he's right that there's an aha! moment when it all suddenly clicks, but if there's no-one to lead you by the hand it can be pretty painful. Michael Kay
