Ooops, sent it to early. Please scratch my previous answer, here's the
finished one ;)

Not answering instead of Mathieu, but with a DVCS he will be able to write
to the repository, and have the same privileges and changeset
granularity any other commiter has,
as long you or any direct commiter pull his changes (after a review
you can do on your side
with simple hg commands)

So the difference is the same I guess, than the difference for Python
itself, which switch to Mercurial.
