You might like jujutsu (devel/jj) as well then. It uses git as storage
but has a different view on the mutability of history. It has fairly
good tools to move changes from one commit to another. An apparently
fairly common workflow is that someone first pre-creates one or more
topic-based commits that start out empty. Then a "scratchpad" commit
comes after that, where changes collect as they are made.  These changes
can then be moved to the commit where they belong.
I read it has borrowed some of these ideas from Mercurial, but I haven't
used that much yet so I can't tell.

That's right! If you come to the NetBSD devsummit at EuroBSDCon in Brussels, you can see me demoing it :)
