http://wiki.freebsd.org/VersionControl
	Table of features comparing SVN HG GIT MTN 

http://wiki.freebsd.org/
	section Development resources (near base of page)
		Clickable to docs on Mercurial & HG & Git etc.

Anyone having info not documented there already, could help by
contributing there ?
Maybe add another tool column or add another attribute row, whatever ?

Disclaimer: 
	I'm not an author, just a reader, no opinion on one over
	the other, but that table seems a central place to work
	toward informed choice ?

Cheers,
Julian
