I am sure. I can claim a pretty good understanding of git by now,
but I've spent a year with bzr and had a good look at hg.

To each their own. I've found bazaar to be slow and have really
fallen in love with the way git does things. I preferred hg over bzr
by the way they do things, but once I saw git, all the others faded.

Both (all) track at the line-level. So it does not matter what kind
of text you track with them.

I am not really sure this is the right place for this discussion,
since this is about storing your $HOME directory in a version
control system, not about version control systems.

For your discussion, I think http://revctrl.org/ and this mailing
list: http://lists.zooko.com/mailman/listinfo/revctrl are much
better suited.
