Mercurial has comparable features (though maybe not obvious to someone accustomed to git) without the usability problems that still plague git nearly two decades later. Hg’s interface was made with humans in mind. Git’s was made to cut you.

(And it has cut so very many people that it’s consistently among the most popular topics in Q&A forums, and has even inspired comics.)

Thankfully, git’s early cross-platform shortcomings were eventually fixed, so that’s at least some progress. I hope its UI and docs eventually get some love, too.
