Bazaar has wonderful cross-platform support as well; I've used it on
multiple Linux distributions, Mac OS X, and Windows systems. I chose it
over git because it's simpler, and over Mercurial because at the time
Mercurial was pretty bloody useless. I actually haven't checked out hg
again since then, because it _really_ rubbed me the wrong way. It took
forever to get a simple clone and for that matter, if memory serves, I
had to use some out of band means to get the clone because it wouldn't
work normally or something. I don't remember anymore.
