I'm really pleased with how easy it is to maintain multiple branches
and quickly switch between branches in one working directory using git
when doing kernel work.  I'm not sure how hg compares as I've not used
it yet.  This is important to me because I work on OE in small,
discontinuous chunks of time, so if I can work on a features in
several branches, and then be able to clean up the changset history
(git rebase -i) before pushing to the public repo, that would be a big
plus for me.  Also being able to easily maintain customer branches in
source control instead of OE overlays would be a big plus.  That said,
I have not tried very hard to do all this in monotone.

Thanks,
Cliff
