Not to disagree with you, I do understand that people have different mental models for things. We're not talking about calculus though, we're talking about mechanisms for tracking changes to some files, usually source code and usually sharing them with a team or others. And it's not like you have to know the intricacies of the git file format or the .hg tree to make use of them.

If the mental model is so rigid that someone can't pretty easily adapt to a new tool, I'm of the belief that they'll have a hell of a time solving the problems our customers need solved. Dislike? I get that. You've typed 'hg ...' so long that you tend to automatically type it instead of 'git ...' I kind of understand that and I'd accept that for a while. But claiming to not understand it because of your mental model? I'd not hire you.
