Martin is a software developer since 15 years, focusing mainly on
Python. I met him at a conference some years back where I talked
about Git-SVN, and he talked about Mercurial, and we got to have
some really interesting discussions on Git vs Mercurial, some of
which we were able to recreate for recording this episode.

Finally, new users might find a minimal ~/.hgrc file with my
favorite extensions useful:

[ui]
username = Your Name

[extensions]
# Color output and show progress bars in your
terminal
color =
progress =
# Pipe output into a pager
pager =
# Enable 'hg rebase'
and 'hg pull --rebase'
rebase =
# Enable 'hg histedit', like 'git rebase
-i'
histedit =
# Enable 'hg record', like 'git add -i;
git commit'
record =
[pager]
# Set $PAGER or specify the pager to use
here:
pager = less -FRX
