in Shortcomings of Mercurial on Humanist → Blog
For a GUI, you'll want to use TortoiseHg. By the way, your blog doesn't seem to put dates on your postings, so I've no idea whether you wrote this yesterday or a year ago.

Luke It's over there on the right, but it took me a while to find it too, and it would be much better if it was nearer the title of the post.

Luke Hoersten So now that 1.0 has been released, I haven't checked but I'm assuming the file permissions problem has been fixed. And TortoiseHg solves the GUI problem for Windows users. But what about the way binaries are handled? Especially if my group loves to move and rename binaries in revision control? This, in my mind, is the final hurtle for Hg being used without hesitation.

in BazaarNG and Mercurial and Git on Phil Dawes' Stuff
Coming very late to the game, but Mercurial is still a lot faster than bzr, and handles in-repo branching, a la git.

in Bzr Vs Mercurial (again) on Phil Dawes' Stuff
Hi, Phil -

Mercurial already tracks rename information, and one of the core developers is about to start working on the transfer of data across rename boundaries when merges occur.

So you should rest assured that within a pretty short time, you'll have all the functionality you need, but with that nice performance on top :-)
