Merging is much better.  But sometimes a developer will have to merge
manually.  When you just wrote that code it is simple.  Annoying but
simple.

No, that is not true:  http://bazaar-vcs.org/Download

Downside on bazaar is that it isn't as nice as mercurial.
It is notably slower, it doesn't look as good.  It has many many additional
features, but some are unmaintained and don't work.
Mercurial is better, but we have to get a convenient hosting solution.
