For the record, Johannes is not the only one being kept from looking at this series (further) by the tone of this discussion. Per hominem attacks are neither professional nor helpful. We prefer to discuss code here, just code. From my comments on an earlier version of your series you can see I've tried. The way other comment threads on this series unfolded made me choose to be a mere by-stander again. >> and I've yet to see how is it that you are planning to cooperate. > > This is also a fact.

Max' recent post 'On git-remote-hg (the "native" one)' [1] points at the msysgit wiki on remote-hg [2] and his remote-hg branch [3], which is based on and points at Sverre's original branch [4] and mine [5] which is [4] being regularly rebased on origin/next. The msysgit devel branch is in heavy use; I don't use mine often but run the test suite on every rebase before pushing out. If the issues that Sverre and Dscho tried to address with their git.git core (non-helper) patches turn out to be non-issues then I assume everyone will be happy, including them. You and they have thought a lot about these things and the way hg-git sync can work. There seems to be diagreement about the way fast-export/the remote helpers communicate which revs and refs that are to be synced and updated. This is not hg-specific, and I suggest to try and clarify that issue as thoroughly and calmly as possible. Everyone will benefit, and it will make clearer which tests are appropriate, and accordingly which fixes fix real problems. Orthogonal to this, it seems that all hg-git interfaces could take advantage of a "git heads" feature if we resurrect the old ideas (can't find the thread right now).
