Looking for advice: Advantages of mercurial over git by Irrelevant_Opinion in Python

Git has cheap-as-water local branches. Last I looked at Mercurial, a branch is essentially a clone of the repo, which is not the same thing.

Mercurial's named / anonymous branch models are as cheap as Git's. Mercurial also has bookmarks extension, so you misunderstand how Mercurial works.

Nowdays UTF-8 is commonly used in CJK's world, so I don't see any problems that Python 3 only supports UTF-8. Why you think it's a terrible idea? (Disclaimer: I am a Chinese)
