Hi,
I'm a Mercurial developer, but please don't let that scare you :) Saying
that TortoiseHg is a GUI primarily for Windows is a mistake. It is a
cross-platform Python program that runs on at least Linux, Mac OS X, and
Windows. I use it on Linux daily. It is packaged for at least Debian and
Ubuntu. See
http://tortoisehg.bitbucket.org/download/linux.html
The confusion probably comes from the "Tortoise" prefix, which is also used
by TortoiseSVN and some other version control GUIs. I believe the other GUIs
are Windows only, and so I can understand that people who haven't looked
deeper into things would think that TortoiseHg is also just for Windows.
