I am mostly referring to the 130 hard links it clobbers your "bin"
directory with. This is just unacceptable non-sense, and hints to an
incredible developer stupidity :-)
The other part of the bad user interface is not only that the terms
differ from what most tools are using (and therefore, most people are
used to). If you've read the git vs. hg comparison article recently
qouted in this thread, you pretty much get the idea of my critic.

That's not really an option, and is not something the user should care
about at all. It's just bad design, similar to chkdsk kicking in every
few boots on an ext3/4 installation; it's a completely unnecessary
perfomance killer.
Bye,
