It offers you the power to handle projects of any size along with a very intuitive interface. Every Mercurial clone is a full-fledged repository with complete history and full revision tracking capabilities, so it is independent of network access or a central server. Committing, branching and merging are fast and cheap. Mercurial is available on many different platforms, including Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, FreeBSD, OpenSolaris and others.
