convenient. All functions are nearly immediate. And it is very very

Mercurial to GIT but both share those features.
Of course, you still have a learning curve. I have never used GIT but
for Mercurial and especially on simple trees, you only need to learn a
few commands which are at the top of all tutorials (checkout, commit,
log, diff, clone, push and pull).
