My experience was that switching from Subversion to Mercurial involved a 
substantial learning curve and also a change in development processes - 
you have to work the way the tool expects you to work. In fact, after a 
week we gave up - it may well have been worth persevering, but we ran 
out of patience. The Mercurial documentation does warn you that this 
experience is not unusual.
