Generally speaking, I use git for everything except pushing to inbound and try, and I use moz-git-tools to intermediate my interaction with hg.
> a) Landing code to inbound, fx-team, aurora, etc For this, I keep around hg repos for the repos I care about, which is m-c and inbound right now, then use: git push-to-hg -t ../hg/inbound <patches to commit> Then I go over to my hg repo and push using hg in the usual way. For non-inbound branches, thanks to the awesome work of the sheriffs, I don't have to deal with pushing at all. > b) Pushing to Try For this, I do git push-to-try ../hg/mc -b d -p linux -u all -t none This single command deals with everything that has to happen in the hg repo, so I don't need to interact with it directly. > c) Fetching new commits I just use git fetch for this, then manually switch over to my hg repos and update them, so I can be sure that when I push to try, things match up. > d) Collaborating/sharing commits with others, especially hg<->git sharing I just use github if I need to do this, though I haven't done it much. I upload patches to bugzilla using git bz attach -e <patches to commit> The little text file it brings up lets me do things like set reviewer flags, obsolete patches, etc. I even wrote some code that tries to figure out who you are going to ask to review the patch, based on the r=foo stuff in the commit message, so it is convenient.

Needing the extra disk space, and having to update extra repos, is a little bit annoying, but not a big deal. > Is moz-git-tools the de facto standard for Mozilla developers?

Pushing to try can be a little pokey, but I don't know what part of the process is slow, and I can just let it do its thing and come back to it later.
