See my <a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=577976" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><strong>comments on ycombinator</strong> about it</a><br> My opinion is that Git and Mercurial are superior in nearly every way to SVN/CVS - I think almost every developer who has used both systems in any meaningful way would agree. </p> <p>As to Git/Hg, they are largely comparable and either would be a good choice, though Git seems to have a bit of a market share advantage, FWIW. </p> </blockquote> <p><sup>Any sources/references about that market share, Scott?<br> Perhaps the number of repos/users declared in social coding collaboration sites?</sup></p> <p>)</p> <p>Beside that, I have written some general posts on the topic:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2704996/describe-your-workflow-of-using-version-control-vcs-or-dvcs">differences between DVCS and CVCS</a></li> <li><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/645008/what-are-the-basic-clearcase-concepts-every-developer-should-know/645771#645771">basic VCS concepts</a> (about ClearCase but can be used to illustrates various differences between CVCS and DVCS)</li> </ul> <p>Those SO answers may not be "tool-specific" enough, but at least can point you to the relevant features each class of those Versioning system provide.</p> <p>On the benchmark front, you have the <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/889229/how-to-measure-network-performance-how-to-benchmark-network-protocol">interesting question from Jakub Narębski</a> on network benchmarking, as well as <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2869213/how-does-git-save-space-and-is-fast-at-the-same-time/2869538#2869538">his answer for Git</a>.<br> That may be too "Git-centric", but can also be used to ask the right questions when deciding what kind of versioning tool you want for your project.</p>
