Just for reference, the abstract history model of Mercurial and GIT is
the same, a DAG of changesets identified by their cryptographic hash as
designed for Monotone, which can be considered the parent of both.
GIT and Mercurial then differs in how this abstract model is written to
disk, with different tradeoffs in terms of performances and how easily a
specific feature can be implemented, but there is no reason something
can be done in GIT but not in Mercurial or viceversa.
