Mercurial Memes

Behold the holy trinity of version control systems! Git is living its best life, getting all the love and attention from programmers worldwide. Meanwhile, Mercurial is drowning in obscurity, desperately gasping for relevance while watching Git get all the glory. And then there's SVN – literally a skeleton at the bottom of the ocean, forgotten by time itself, still waiting for someone to remember it exists. Thanks to Linus Torvalds for blessing us with Git and single-handedly sending SVN to its watery grave. The man really said "let there be distributed version control" and the rest is history. Poor SVN thought it was hot stuff with its centralized repository until Git showed up and absolutely DEMOLISHED the competition.

The evolution of version control systems, as told by expanding brain memes: Git? Basic brain. Functional, gets the job done. The industry standard that everyone grudgingly accepts. SVN, Mercurial, TFS? Glowing brain. The legacy systems maintained by that one dev who still uses tabs instead of spaces and refuses to retire. Commenting changes in code? Galaxy brain. Because who needs actual version control when you can just leave cryptic notes like "// fixed stuff" and "// TODO: make better"? But the true enlightenment? Making a complete project clone every time you change something. That's not version control—that's just digital hoarding with extra steps. The "project_final_FINAL_v2_ACTUALLY_FINAL" approach to software development.
