There are a couple of potential negatives for git. One, it doesn't have a "native" Windows client, (it works with cygwin but I'm told that doesn't really "count" for Windows users---I still don't see how something like python seems to "count" as native in contrast, but maybe it's just because I'm not a Windows user). Two, it currently requires all history to be retrieved initially. This can be a bit of a burden, but there is current work for "shallow clone" to make this problem go away.
I talked with Vlad over at Mozilla about hg vs git. They are probably going to go with hg because the performance difference between the two on windows is just stunning, even though hg is written in python. hg also has a single .exe installer and is easier to get up and running.
