On a side note, I paid my monthly subscription fee just a few days ago, but now everyone is on the same (basic, free) plan. Is that money just out the window?
"Because accounts with 5 or fewer users are free, we will be canceling your subscription and moving you to the free plan (you will be notified by PayPal that your Bitbucket account has been canceled)."
Not sure if that means you'll get your money back, though.
(I've been using git for a little bit but wonder if Mercurial could be more powerful but less popular, and that I'd be missing out)
For me, the two features I miss most in HG are the staging area and cheap local branching. There plugins that give you rough equivalents, but I haven't used them and it's much nicer to have what you need out of the box.
