Git pack files uses binary xdiff for deltaifying, so having many large binary files and moving them around shouldn’t be the problem. On the other hand Git does not track renames, but does similarity estimate based rename detection, so if representation of binaries changes much (e.g. encrypted files) you are out of luck…

So now that 1.0 has been released, I haven’t checked but I’m assuming the file permissions problem has been fixed. And TortoiseHg solves the GUI problem for Windows users. But what about the way binaries are handled? Especially if my group loves to move and rename binaries in revision control? This, in my mind, is the final hurtle for Hg being used without hesitation.

Yeah sorry about that. I didn’t design the theme but I have to say, for most cases I’d prefer it over there on the side. I respect the designer and his design decisions.

It’s over there on the right, but it took me a while to find it too, and it would be much better if it was nearer the title of the post.

For a GUI, you’ll want to use TortoiseHg. By the way, your blog doesn’t seem to put dates on your postings, so I’ve no idea whether you wrote this yesterday or a year ago.

This article has links to the videos that showed me why DRVSs are better. Let me know if you still don't see after reading that article.
