Mercurial is a distributed revision control system created by Matt Mackall in 2005 that is implemented primarily in Python with some C code for binary diffing. It has a distributed architecture, is platform independent, fast and easy to use. Key features include handling both plain text and binary files, advanced branching and merging capabilities, and being open source for collaborative and distributed development projects.

Editor's Notes
- #3: Diff is a data comparison tool used to compare between two lines of a code
- #4: Distributed Architecture: This way it works independent of network access or a central server. Platform independence: Therefore most of Mercurial is written in Python. Fast: You can generate diffs between revisions, or jump back in time within seconds. Extensible: Extensions can change the workings of the basic commands, add new commands. Easy to use: Basic interface is easy to use, easy to learn and hard to break. Open source: Mercurial is free software licensed.

- #6: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/35837/what-is-the-difference-between-mercurial-and-git Mercurial commands are plain and not special at all -- the only unusual thing is the --force flag to hg pull, which is needed since Mercurial will abort otherwise when you pull from an unrelated repository.
