Hello fellow monks.

I come before you to ask what you think about distributed version control in a mature and flame-free way. How do you feel about git and mercurial? What do you think about Github and Bitbucket?

I guess I'll start. Personally, I use git for all my projects. I used to be a big subversion user, but I like git more, mostly because of its mainstream coverage and the direction it's headed. Not to be a bandwagon hopper, but it's the truth. I also am a fan of Github, although most of my projects prohibit its usage. This also likely plays into my usage of git, as I have used git and Github as a way to get my daily use software, libraries, Vim plugins, etc... That being said, I do like mercurial and Bitbucket. However, I think that's because they definitely look, act, and feel like shameless clones... I know that isn't the case, but Bitbucket does "borrow" alot of Githubs ideas. And so does mercurial

So, I'm just curious where other Perl users stand and how useful/uselss they find git, Github, mercurial, or Bitbucket.
