I'm planning to move the DWT2 repository to either github or bitbucket.
Which one would you prefer?
Git seems to require a Unix shell to work on Windows. Which is one of
the things that make me think that git and Windows is not a match made
in heaven. It's a bit like having a crossplatform project that uses
Microsoft's C++ extensions, and requires linux contributors to run MSVC
through Wine to be able to build it. In other words, I would prefer
Bitbucket.
But I don't expect to make big contributions, so it's not going to
matter much for the project.
I have been thinking the same myself. I just haven't figured out how
much of a problem it really is.
I thought I'd give hg-git a go, I found an easy way to install it here:

I cloned one of the Phobos clones on github and played around with it a
bit. Works great so far, everything seems to work. Not tried to push
or check in, but I suppose it would work just fine. One of Mercurial's
strengths is really how easy Python makes it to create extensions and tools.
