We widely use both Mercurial and Git, especially when you take user repositories into account. We should install Mercurial and Git everywhere to make sure that it's easy for everyone to get their code.

Ben: what does "everywhere" mean here? Slaves? Masters?

for what its worth, I certainly would like it everywhere these days, I've been hit by "machine X doesn't seem to have {hg,git}" a bunch of times, for loaners and random puppetized hosts.

To the extent where I'm sometimes installed hg in a python venv or manually installed git on say a loaner to circumvent.

A year ago I wouldn't have cared if git was everywhere, but our current usage patterns make this a good call imo.

Anything managed by Puppet, I guess. I think we're pretty close to that now...
