Currently running on an empty db, and it seems to work fine.

I use git, because all the information can easily be found in the
internet and it is still very actively developed and a lot of questions
on how to use it have already been asked :).
For mercurial I have to refresh my memories and the information on
StackOverflow and similar seem slightly outdated. And I just do not
remember how to use it anymore :/
But maybe it is just me...
