Git, github, Mercurial, bitbucket

I like both equally but am a little more familiar with git. Although now I prefer bitbucket over github due to private repositories being free . Actually I think currently mercurial tool support on windows seems better too (I didn't expect TortoiseHG to be so neat, as I had only used Tortoise CVS in the past, and I didn't like it, but thats probably due to the nature of CVS).

Some notes, small annoyances I encountered on my system and how I fixed them.

• Git usage on Windows Vista notes
• Git removing contents permanently from repository
• Converting from Git to Mercurial
• Mercurial through proxy
