The hash of a Git commit also depends on the hash of its parents, since the parent hashes are included in the git commit information.

Robwald is right; it's a bit misleading to say that you "change history" in git. I've posted a more detailed explanation here.

The code text does not scroll in Chrome on Xubuntu 13.10. For example, I see " git tag -am 'Rolled the annotated version.' 1" which makes the subsequent output look weird.

Are you familiar with hash collisions? No matter how unlikely, they EXIST, and apparently git does handle collisions gracefully.

Well, this is just not the difference between git and mercurial, since it's almost exactly the same way there. If you read carefully, you find mentions of this in the post.

Oh yeah? Prove it. Make two files with the same SHA-1 checksum and check them both into git, and see if you can retrieve their different contents.

I have always preferred Mercurial. Git was difficult to set up which led me to not even continue working with it. I believe in simplicity to save time, as the two tools are similar enough for me.

The only thing I didn't like about Mercurial was that they encourage you to clone a repository for major diversion instead of branching. In git, we use branching for anything like that, and it is light...
