What about if you just needed to do a one-time setup, to automatically push to Hg when you push to your public Git repository, using a repository hook and one of the bridges? Then (if you really start using pull requests) you could pull from either system easily as well. > > If so, are we definitely set on GitHub?

But Github doesn't support Mercurial AT ALL. Sure there is hg-git but it isn't always smooth, and Hg users will still be limited to git clones on Github for contributing. If we use Bitbucket (or another service that supports both), nobody needs to learn a new tool. And we can combine both repositories together under one project page. People could clone server-side from either repository depending on their system of choice, and that decision wouldn't impact their ability to easily contribute back. Of course, I suppose we could always link to two sites from one vim.org page. But I'd rather any Hg repository be just as "valid" as the Github one, not some read-only mirror nobody looks at. But it sounds like that is the way it is heading. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
