And I didn't. I said I like it better (I've used both heavily), and I
said the model of version control *presented to the user* (not to the
developer) is cleaner.

There is another thing. Other things being equal, I think the Emacs
developers as a group prefer tools that say "Hi, I'm the git VCS.
Hack me!" I've never been tempted to hack hg (and I *like* Python),
and considered hacking bzr only to help a friend (which I quickly
learned was not worth it).
Certainly some senior Emacs developers have expressed a strong
preference for a VCS that doesn't need to be hacked, and undoubtedly a
fair amount of hacking around git by somebody is needed to help them
achieve comfortable workflows. Whether it's worth it is their decision.
