I thought that might be how to interpret it. So that quite probably
explains the time difference.

The big problem is that for obvious reasons, there's no significantly
sized project with relatively official repositories in more than one
DVCS format - so comparing like with like is extremely difficult.

Yet more proof that all benchmarks are lies, I guess...
