Is Perforce as good at merging as DVCSs?
I’ve heard that Perforce is very good at merging, I’m guessing this has to do with that it tracks changes in the form of changelists where you can add differences across several files in a single blow. I think this implies Perforce gathers more metadata and therefore has more information to do smarter merging (at least smarter than Subversion, being Perforce centralized).

Release Management Tools with DVCS (Mercurial)
My development team is migrating from SVN to Mercurial.
