I do think it is about time Hugin/panotools switched to git. There is a lot
to like about mercurial, but git won. Also switching to git would make
migration away from sourceforge easier if that needed to happen.
Yes, git would be an improvement, and I'm pretty sure there is no
downside other than the one-time work of switching. I'm not saying that
isn't work of course.
What would have an even higher benefit to me would be to use a platform
where patches can be contributed through pull requests or similar,
instead of uploading patches as single files / zipped collections of
files. And the notifications on launchpad seem to be broken -- I'm
seeing that in both directions, which makes it less attractive to
contrib patches, etc. I'd probably do more if it were simpler.
But I think github should serve as a cautionary tale: I have perceived
them as beyond any doubt 10 years ago, while now I perceive github
mostly as a tool for Microsoft to collect LLM training material.
cheers, Lukas Wirz
