Using HG in this way has been a request for at least three or four years, and probably since when Sage switched from darcs to hg. Is doing all this stuff in Mercurial an option, especially for folks like sage-combinat who have spent a lot of time taking people who are *not* hard-core programmers, but want to do research math, up to speed in hg? This seems like a potential halfway point, assuming that there is a site which would want to host this all - Sage seems so huge, I'm kind of surprised even github would want to host it for free, though I guess it's GPL... -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
