Hello, Last week we had a bit of an emergency when a web crawler started indexing all our mercurial repositories on xenbits, as caused the load on xenbits to go beyond what it can handle.
As a temporary solution we decided to remove access to mercurial repositories, but the contents there are AFAIK only for historical repositories, so we might consider completely removing access to mercurial repositories. This would however require migrating any repository we care about to git. I would like an opinion from committers as well as the broad community whether shutting down mercurial repositories and migrating whatever we care about is appropriate. Otherwise we will need to implement some throttling to mercurial accesses in order to avoid overloading xenbits. Thanks, Roger.
