The reason for the difference is simply that Mercurial assumes as default that 
you want to get your repository data completely in sync, while git assumes 
that you want to only synchronize some part and keep most of the changes to 
yourself. 

The same is true for commit: 
- Mercurial commits all changes, as long as you don't specify files 
  (or use the record extension). 
- Git only commits explicitely added changes, as long as you don't use "-a". 

It's a difference in philosophy. 

Best wishes, 
Arne
