I read carefully your recent work on the wiki, and I have some notes:

* reflog format (hg, git) -- is not it called revlog?
* bzr vs hg -- you said that bzr don't need export command that hg has. But we also have export
command. May be it's different, but this command used very often, especially to build releases tarballs.
* bz vs git -- "directories are branches..." section. you wrote: "There is no easy way to push a set
of related branches at once currently in Bazaar - use rsync instead." Why no one aware about
existence of repo-push plugin? It not very well maintained, but I recently fix some annoying bugs in
it to make it fully usable with dirstate-tags format.

Overall feel about this texts: it's highly biased towards Bazaar. Maybe it's ok. In some sections
you only shortly mention difficult parts that exists in another tools and then start very long
explanation why bzr better. But this style of statement suppose that reader has very deep
understanding of another tool. For people who don't have this knowledge it looks a bit "wtf".
