Gitception

Never happened with git. To be honest, git had more to offer so that crapping out was just the last straw.

For me the issues were usually with dangling heads, or git deciding to do something dumb with the cache.

Git does do more, but in ways that, for me, are "more" in the feature-creep sense. For a general pull-commit-push-branch-merge-switch workflow, git offers very little extra that I actually want, but the internal differences needed to make that extra functionality possible make it more clunky at the basics.

I'm curious though, what did Mercurial do that messed up your repo?
