You apparently think Mercurial has a nice CLI. Why not consider it?

There's Bitbucket, which is a GitHub-like site. It's still fast, but
much easier to do extensions for. The CLI is easier to understand,
even if the git CLI has been cleaning up their act. There's a pretty
good TortoiseHG, which is further along than the git version.

And to prematurely counter the momentum argument: just don't go there.
Mozilla, lots of Sun stuff (OpenJDK, NetBeans), corporations like Fog
Creek went with Mercurial after extensive investigation. Python is
fancying hg, too.

I'm a Mercurial developer, and would be happy to dedicate some time to
help with the migration.
