11 <p>Traditional version control systems such as Subversion are typical client-server architectures with a central server to store the revisions of a project. In contrast, Mercurial is truly distributed, giving each developer a local copy of the entire development history. This way it works independent of network access or a central server. Committing, branching and merging are fast and cheap.</p> 11 <p>Traditional version control systems such as Subversion are typical client-server architectures with a central server to store the revisions of a project.

15 <p>Mercurials implementation and data structures are designed to be fast. You can generate diffs between revisions, or jump back in time within seconds. Therefore Mercurial is perfectly suitable for large projects such as OpenJDK (<a href="http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7">hg</a>) or NetBeans (<a href="http://hg.netbeans.org/">hg</a>).</p> 15 <p>Mercurial's implementation and data structures are designed to be fast.

19 <p>Mercurial was written with platform independence in mind. Therefore most of Mercurial is written in Python, with a small part in portable C for performance reasons. As a result, binary releases are available on all major platforms.</p> 19 <p>Mercurial was written with platform independence in mind.
