What is better than .NET implementation, Mercurial or git?

I need to access some DVCS from my .NET code and because I am familiar with Mercurial and Git, which of these two has the best .NET client library? And I do not mean only the shell, I mean the complete .NET implementation, which does not require any command line calls in the background.

Note. If the answer was Bazaar or some other DVCS that I am not familiar with, this is normal, the actual DVCS is not that important.

Edit: I am looking for answers from people who have really tried some .NET clients and can evaluate their quality.

Both have native .NET support:

There is no "native" implementation of Mercurial (and probably never will). An hglib project that uses cmdserver Mercurial mode (part of the GSoC project) is best .

To summarize what was collected in the answers: it looks like Mercurial does not and probably will not have a .NET port in the near future, but for Git, at least these two ports seem to be useful:
