That's very cool indeed, thanks for that pointer! > Does anyone think it's worth having it in Debian? I think so. The used concept and architecture seems superior to any external tools of which we have a few in Debian already: git-bzr-ng - bi-directional git to bzr bridge: never fear bzr again tailor - migrate changesets between version control systems The following ones seem to be either one-way or rather clients that can connect to git repository than git clients that can connect to other VCS repositories: hg-fast-export - mercurial to git converter using git-fast-import bzr-fastimport - Fast-import/fast-export plugin for Bazaar mercurial-git - Git plugin for Mercurial bzr-git - Bazaar plugin providing Git integration I suspect that these relate to some of the alternatives linked in the blog-posting. > I haven't find a license information though.

At least Git from Experimental says: $ git clone "hg::http://selenic.com/repo/hello" Cloning into 'hello'... fatal: Unable to find remote helper for 'hg' So only the plugin itself seems missing. But downloading these to files and copying them into $PATH makes it work: $ git clone "hg::http://selenic.com/repo/hello" Cloning into 'hello'... $ > Does anyone know if it is going to be part of upstream Git releases? >From the posting: "Soon they might be merged into upstream git, so they would be distributed as other contrib scripts (e.g. /usr/share/git), and eventually possibly enabled by default." So I guess for now, there's no action needed by Debian. Just always use Git from Experimental and keep it up to date. ;-) Regards, Axel -- ,''`. | Axel Beckert <a...@debian.org>, http://people.debian.org/~abe/ : :' : | Debian Developer, ftp.ch.debian.org Admin `. `' | 1024D: F067 EA27 26B9 C3FC 1486 202E C09E 1D89 9593 0EDE `- | 4096R: 2517 B724 C5F6 CA99 5329 6E61 2FF9 CD59 6126 16B5 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
