Thanks for your input and your work on getting mercurial and git play
better together!
If we had just changed tool while keeping the same workflow, using
hg-git would have made plenty of sense. In our case, since anyway the
workflow is going to change from top to bottom, I guess we might as
well focus on writing documentation for transitioning directly for
git. Of course some devs might choose to use some other tool of their
choice on top of git, and that's perfectly fine!
Cheers,
Nicolas
PS: let's keep the hg-git flamewars for when we are all sitting around
a beer :-)
