I miss mercurial and it's far more sensical flags and commands...

It's still here and very much alive in case you were curious.

The only reason that we stopped using Mercurial is that Microsoft used Git in Azure DevOps. I still wish that they’d supported Mercurial instead of or as well as Git.

Me too. It also handled some situations, like divergent lines in the same branch or obsolete changes, much better.

I really liked Mercurial too. It was much easier to follow branches to find out if a branch included a commit.
