Just for the record ... the libreoffice clone I started 9 hours ago is still going strong, and I'm estimating that it will finish some time tomorrow afternoon, another 20 hours or so. A single huge repo is going to take time to handle? Or am I doing something wrong? All I've done at the moment is followed the instructions Pierre directed me to ... they were not on the original notes I looked at.
I've been away from home over the weekend stuck in an exhibition hall, so I left the libreoffice clone via hggit running ... It's still running this morning 4 days later. I'll leave it to finish now. The straight git clone did run in under an hour, but obviously the cross DVCS processes need a lot more work :( The other git hosted projects I am working with work with a modular setup using submodule, and this does not present the same problem, creating hg clones reasonably quickly.
So is the current question one of better making the case for one over the other? On the existing RFC there is little detail which covers the reasons that people who are working cross platform DO have a problem with git, and why currently hg is providing a clean transparent platform. Both will do the job that it seems is being targeted, even if I disagree that it's the right target, but neither are clear front runners? It would seem however that a hybrid system supporting both is probably still some way off :(
