Post is very subjective, not informative.

P.s. Whole OpenOffice is now on mercurial too, and google code and CodePlex offer mercurial support. No git support, however.

There is also bitbucket, something like github, but not that mature

You’ve made quite good comparison between Git and Mercurial but it’s not exactly objective. Anyway, the post is informative for people that don’t know much about them.

You forgot to mention git’s killer feature, the index (see for example http://codemac.net/blog/18/). I find myself using it from time to time.

I think msysgit (http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/) makes git pretty usable on windows now. Like the person said above you can use short hand like HEAD^ and IIRC you can get away with just using the first 4 characters of the SHA1 hash.

I’ve found I don’t have to pack git that often, just happen to do it now and then when I remember.

I’d have github down as a big pro too, it’s fantastic for getting lots of different takes on a project, great for forking a project doing a bit of work and then sending requests to people to take a look .

I found Mercurial’s branching a real letdown the last time I used it, didn’t feel solid at all and basically seemed to make it un-usable for myself, as I use branching quite a lot but each to their own.
