Next time you have to use git: Remember, there are also patch-queues for git.

Which do you use? I've had a quick google and only found Guilt as a serious contender, and that doesn't seem to quite do what hg patch queues do (especially wrt publishing queues). I'm interested as it seems like quite a common workflow (for me at least) that doesn't really fit into the Git model.

Have you come across this discussion (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5016862/whats-the-git-app...)?

My co-workers use Guilt.

We had published patch-queues in another department I worked for, and they were one of the reasons they switched to git instead.

I've never warmed up to patch-queues, but I haven't really tried to use them seriously.

/me did not know this - thank you for the fill in (I'll stop preaching about them for hg then, I thought they were unique to hg!)

Also mercurial can do almost anything that git does (and more) with the right extensions.

Nowadays the choice between git and mercurial comes down mostly to preferring on the user interface over another.
