In an ideal world, it would be nice if people had the option to use mercurial to commit to a git repository in a similar fashion to how some people (me, at least) use git to commit to an SVN repository today. I think that would do a pretty decent job of making

happy.
For me, an even happier thing would be keeping the ability to use svn regardless of your switching to git or whatever. I never work on more than one piece of code at a time and svn is perfectly adequate for me. I really don't see a sufficient reason for me to spend time on learning yet another system.
I also would like to be able to keep using SVN. TortoiseSVN is such a great tool for me. For example, TortoiseCVS lacks all nice things TortoiseSVN has. The two are really incomparable.
Then maybe Mercurial via Tortoise is the best of both worlds: http://tortoisehg.sourceforge.net/ Screenshot: http://tortoisehg.sourceforge.net/screenshots/tortoisehg-snapshot-contextmen...
This is the project that will likely convert me to Mercurial for my 3 little OS projects. I would like to see how it handles merge and diff, but I think that I'm already sold. Anything is preferable to Git.
I already use Mercurial for work. Not for the main source repository, over which I have no control, but for my own "portable" clone of their repository and their old proprietary SCM. I keep an Hg clone on my USB key to shuttle between the private LAN and the Net.
Mercurial is awesome, IMHO. And this statement is from someone who has used and loved Subversion for >5 years. And it's getting a lot of momentum from projects like Mozilla and OpenJDK. I think that its being Python-based, the portability problems are left to the Python-porters themselves.
