Now that some other significant open source projects are using DVCS - maybe it would be good to get an opinion from each as to how they like it. Mercurial(hg) - mozilla Git - linux kernel team Bzr - canonical, webpy I'm sure there are other projects for each.
According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_revision_control_software, some users are:
bzr: Ubuntu, Launchpad, Drupal (but for main repository CVS still used), KatchTV git: Linux kernel, Cairo, ELinks, Wine, X.Org, XCB, XMMS2, Compiz Fusion, Samba, OLPC core development hg: e2fsprogs, Mozilla, NetBeans, Xine, Xen, OpenJDK, OpenSolaris, wmii, MoinMoin, Linux-HA
Carl Worth of Cairo is sometimes around #inkscape or related channels, so someone could ask him and post the results here. I'll be meeting with someone from Mozilla in about three weeks if that's any help.
Incidentally, other options are for us to make expanded use of git-svn or bzr-svn or the like (with help from existing users), as a way of getting more experience with those, and some of the benefits of a complete switch, while allowing more time either to hear of others' experiences and/or to see if any of the contenders improves to become a clear winner. (I'm not necessarily advocating this, I'm just saying it's an option, and one we can discard whenever we want if we do consciously adopt it.)
