Why GitHub Won
Around about that time, I was working on a Mercurial frontend https://github.com/tanepiper/hgfront - it was around the time GitHub was starting to pick up, and BitBucket also appeared around then (we spoke to the original developer at the time but nothing came of it). Funnily enough also a Gist-like tool that had inline commenting, forking and formatting (https://github.com/tanepiper/pastemonkey).
I always wonder what would have happened if we had a dedicated team to make something of it, but in the end git won over hg anyway so likely a moot point.

A Git Origin Story (2018)
Around that time I (and a couple of others) worked on the excitingly named hgfront (https://github.com/tanepiper/hgfront) which was a Mercurial frontend a little like GitHub.
There's a old low-res video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NARcsoPp4F8) of it in action.
I really liked Mercurial and used BitBucket for a while, but in the end GitHub won out.
