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 everyone 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'm hoping that subversion stays because then I can use bzr without changing anyone else's workflows. (Launchpad can track CVS and Subversion trees and exports as a bzr branch.)
I haven't used mercurial much, but feature-wise, it seems similar to bzr. I'm really not a fan of git, but I suspect it's mostly due to my not spending hours reading up on how to use it. ;) bzr had treated me well so far -- I use it for a few personal projects.
I wish git or bzr would handle "real" cherry-picking though. I have no idea if mercurial does it right.
