And here's a new one: https://github.com/felipec/git/blob/fc-remote-hd/contrib/remote-hd/git-remote-hg I took a look at several of them, and none satisfied me; too complicated, depends on another tool, hard to install, etc. This one is simple, and works fine. Only for local repositories, and only for fetching at the moment, but it's easy to use, and doesn't require much to install. I think it has good chances of getting into git mainline, and hopefully other people will help adding the rest of the features. The code is not hard at all :) Cheers. -- Felipe Contreras -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
