I would definitely prefer SVN over CVS too, it just makes our lives a 
bit easier. Does anyone still work with CVS for your own projects???

The real gain with mercurial is that local branching is really easy. If 
you implement a new feature, just create a new branch. Working on 
different fronts is getting a lot easier with that. Also, developers 
without CVS write access can work with a VCS during development of new 
features or bugfixes. Branches can then simply be merged with the trunk 
when the time is right. Mercurial, as it is a local VCS, also lets you 
work offline, and most operations are blazingly fast.

I would prefer Mercurial over git as it has currently better Windows 
support. I'm a linux user myself, but I guess there are quite a few 
Windows users among lwIP.
