Let's not turn this into a scm war (I can send you a list of commands
in private if you want). I just prefer Git cause it's more flexible
(especially when it comes to re-write history), has more commands, is
faster and has a bigger community. But as I said, both hg and bzr are
great tools too.

I don't agree here, git is just as easy as bzr. Or if you want to call
Git not easy than you'll have to label bzr as not easy as well cause
frankly, their syntax seems extremely similar to me:

$ git --version
$ bzr --version

$  bzr init
$  git init

$  bzr add file
$  git add file

$  bzr diff
$  git diff

$  bzr commit -m "dummy"
$  git commit -a -m "dummy."

$  bzr status
$  git status
