Of course, everyone is biased on using what he's familiar with. CVS
does everything I need it to do wrt to maxima.
Git might be overtaking hg, but hg is probably not going away soon
either. (I know clisp is moving to hg. Some large, well-known projects
are using hg such as openJDK, OpenOffice, Octave, ScientificPython, Xen,
as listed on Mercurial's page.)
Likewise, there are a large number of projects using git, most notably
the Linux kernel.
