The fundamental change is something else to me: you lose feeling
of linearity. I like hg because it still tries to give me a cosy nice
local version numbers (great to switch from SVN, you can even have
your old SVN commit numbers to stay after migration). But when
I look at the gerrit interface (not gerrit's fault) I have
no idea what was done before, what was done after, what's the history.
Yes, git is so poewerful, that gets fragile in itself. I end up with
several clones and no idea about where they differ.
Isn't there a way to compare them?

You could designate a single one of them as your primary repo or create a
new one just for the purpose of monitoring. On that repo add each of your
clones as a remote. And then git fetch from them all. You should end up
with foo/master, bar/master, etc... tracking branches and a gui that
displays all the branches should be able to give you an idea of what
commits are not in which repos.
