Bummer! Would have been a good chance for a flame war. ;-)

I agree with some of your arguments, many of them I'm not able to
comment because I do not know much about DVCSs yet.

AFAIK there is a mingw based version available now.

Anyway, your critics are mostly related to git. Mercurial seems to
provide better Win32, OS X and internationalization support.

Yes and no. Definitely we have to make our own judgement. On the other
hand you can't change a VCS easily so it is important to look to other
project's decisions just to make sure that the selected VCS will have a
long future.
