Two of the three git votes had also mentioned that it didn't really matter much to them in the end, they would just prefer what they were familiar with.
That is a misrepresentation. I did not say I prefer git because it is more familiar. I prefer git because I believe it is better. I will be satisfied with any choice because I agree with the goal of moving to DVCS and because I don't plan to get involved in any complicated VCS operations myself. For common use (excepting speed) I believe they will operate similarly.
I'm sorry if I misrepresented anything, it was not intentional. I can swear (and I may be recalling a conversation with someone else), you were fond of tortoisegit, but hadn't tried the tortoisebzr client... Also, Max stated in the discussion thread: "I prefer git as well (although/because I haven't worked with bzr yet)."
In general, Ted, Jon, bryce, Krzysztof, Kees, and myself (to a lesser degree) all definitely have used both and voted for bzr. I just don't get the feeling from the git voters that it is based on experience, which I could be entirely wrong about. Either way, the result of the vote was at a ratio of 2 to 1, if going by possible experience, at a ratio of 3 to 1.
