I think that what got lost here is the main reason why Linus dropped Mercurial as an alternative: relyability and stability, bothe refering to the possibility of loosing you data... (even that his evaluation is of an old version)Although Linus Torvalds' words carry some weight, context is important too. Perhaps, he meant to say that Mercurial would be 'not too bad' for the Linux development model.
That is one thing that scares me, I don't know about you...Another important aspect important for embedded: do they have Eclipse integration? This is rapidly becoming the most used tool for ARM/Cortex, which is becoming a very important slice of the embeded world...
AlainPS my own opinion: "if it aint broken, don't fix it" I believe that the git alternative will grow a lot in he next year (or not), and that will make the decision simpler.
