mercurial

correct me if im wrong, but isn't distributed SCMs for OS projects while centralized SCMs are better for corporate/private projects?

cause with eg. mercurial anyone gets an exact copy of the repository with FULL history features, while with centralized you only get the latest working copy.

im more focused on private projects so i wonder if its better with centralized SCMs or doesnt it matter?
