I know I have suggested this before, but you can use the hggit extension (Debian package mercurial-git). Enable it in ~/.hgrc as [extensions] hggit = You can then clone a git repo as a local mercurial repo with, e.g., hg clone git+https://github.com/vim/vim.git For large repos like vim, there are really only two downsides to this: it takes a while to convert the git repo to mercurial during the initial clone, and it take twice as much disk space because hggit needs a local copy of the git repo in addition to the hg repo. These are both relatively mild annoyances compared to the benefit of being able to use mercurial to manage the repo locally. The vim git repo is only about 250M, which really isn't that much. ...Marvin -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
