[gopher] cgod - a new prototype gopher daemon

[Matt Lewandowsky]

You'll get more downloads and people looking at Gophernicus if you don't force everyone to install some app called "git". What is it, anyway? It has an offensive name. ;)

In seriousness, hg is Mercurial, also known as "the other DVCS besides git". (Bitbucket, by Atlassian, for instance, supports both git and hg repos.) It's used by companies like Facebook and Mozilla for their fairly sizeable codebases, as well as open source projects such as Python, wget, nginx, and OpenJDK. It’s not exactly a no-name binary that no one knows, basically. 

If you're afraid of learning something new, you can use git-hg or git-remote-hg to interact with hg repositories (the reverse direction also works well, btw).

No need to criticize someone for using common tools that you don't happen to use yourself though. :)
