As I have mentioned I use now days Mercurial for my pet projects. There was one thing I was missing from Git. Git has nice feature to pick part of files for commit. Its really nice feature because I find myself regularly doing many small issues between commits which I want to commit separately.
Same kind of feature have been available for Mercurial over two years from now. It is called hg record which is made available by record extension. This increased Mercurials usability at lot. I hope this tip will help someone else who has also wondered if this kind of functionality exists in Mercurial.
Should we still consider to move on Mercurial at our work :-/
In our company some developers from time to time propose we should move from Subversion to Git. I don’t see any point for that because Subversion is working quite well for us and if someone wants to use Git they can do it with git-svn. However for my pet projects I want to use some DVCS and for that I have used Git for a while. When I started to investigate Byteflow I also started to use Mercurial because Byteflow source is on Mercurial repository. I have also investigated little bit Bazaar, but from that I don’t have any real use experience (hope I will get some day). You can find out lot of hype and discussion about Git, but I have to say I have little bit ambivalence feelings of Git.
