I think any progress to keep these trees in better sync is a good idea.

I'd expect that a portion of developers prefer git, but I was
referring to end-users -- the guys who do the majority of testing imo.
 I don't know any end-users with any intention of using the git tree.
Actually, there are quite a few who stopped updating their hg tree and
prefer to use older known working drivers because of the sync
problems/broken drivers not being fixed.  From a developer standpoint
it may be decent but to an end-user it's just turned into a big mess.
Oh well, who needs all those testers anyways? ;)

Cheers
