message: Aren't footnotes broken? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Blazar (talk • contribs).
:Depends on what you mean "broken". The article currently mixes footnotes and enumerated external links, so that could've confused you (external links have the square and arrow image whereas footnotes do not).
:Or maybe it was just that the article used an old footnote syntax that is not favored any more. (I converted to the newer  syntax now) -- intgr 18:30, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Footnotes

message: I think the list of users is getting out of hand;  the article probably doesn't need to mention more than five major users.  The rest could either be moved to a stand-alone list, or deleted.
At first estimation, i think the projects that would be useful to mention in the article are Java, Mozilla, OpenSolaris, and Xen.  Comments?  --Piet Delport 22:56, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. Keep the five aforementioned and throw away the rest, it's of little use to Wikipedia. -- intgr #%@! 23:12, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  OK, done.  I've backed each of them with citations to the relevant announcements/evaluations.  --Piet Delport 02:51, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  User list 

message: "It has been ported to Windows, Mac OS X, and most Unix-like systems."  No it hasn't - it was written first on one of these systems, then ported to the others.  The sentence should read something like "It was written on Linux, then ported to Windows, Mac OS X, and other Unix-like systems". AMackenzie (talk) 22:00, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

text: Fair enough!  Was Mercurial, in fact, first written on Linux?  AMackenzie (talk) 13:37, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, Matt Mackall is a Linux kernel hacker; Mercurial was supposed to be one of the contestants to git's current place. -- intgr [talk] 16:08, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Absurdity 

message: While Git is the primary DRCS for the Linux Kernel, Mercurial repositories are also kept in sync. See this repository , or btrfs development. It might be worth mentioning in this article. Tinkertim (talk) 15:54, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes however all the actual development occurs using git, I haven't heard of Linus merging any mercurial branches into his tree, with this kind of logic you may as well say that tarballs and patches are kept in sync with the primary git tree for every snapshot and release candidate.

thread_title:  Additional external link 

message: It seems like the mercurial command syntax is much like that of git (albeit simpler). Should that be in the article? Mr. Man (talk) 02:56, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Syntax Similarities to Git 

message: It says it was written after the free version of Bitkeeper was withdrawn, but it doesn't say if it was modeled on or inspired by Bitkeeper. The article should say more about the prior systems that influenced this system. (The Git article has a good section on this.) I would write it myself, but I don't know enough. (I've never used either BitKeeper, Git, or Mercurial.) —MiguelMunoz (talk) 20:39, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
