I recently started a new software project – a game engine. Even though the current development team is a single programmer, I need a version control system (VCS) that will:

- backup the entire repository on multiple machines (for safety reasons)
- easily allow me to add/manage contributors in the future
After some research, I chose Mercurial. If you are reading this article, you have also chosen Mercurial. If you do not know what Mercurial is, or are unfamiliar with distributed version control systems, go here. The rest of you can continue reading.
