I am proposing a migration of all mercurial to git repositories. Git is

hope this can be removed from git.
Why not just remove python from mercurial instead? "Lots of nerds use
it" is not a compelling argument, unless you are trying to convince us
to buy Macs next.
everytime i proposed in mercurialchan to rewrite it in C, everybody
thought i was trolling or so.. i would also love to have hg in c,
but the reactions were pretty rude, so i decided to move to git.
and python is not a dependency for mercurial. It is written in it.
Dpb on IRC showed me [0], which seems to do a near to perfect import of
the old hg history. Anyone had bad experiences with this?
It works fine, but you still haven't made sufficient case for switching.
For the web interface on git.suckless.org I am proposing cgit, which is
fast and written in C.
Also works well. Does not justify a switch.
How are your thoughts, comrades?
Why bother?
