[dev] hggit and the suckless repos
Hi everybody, The suckless projects being the only ones that I follow from their git repo, I decided to simply use the hggit extension of mercurial. So I installed it and tried a: hg clone git+http://git.suckless.org/dwm, I got a ValueError exception. I tried the same thing with st, dmenu, with the same error. I then tried repos from github, kernel.org, some random git repos, and all worked fine. So my question: what are you guys using to serve the git repo? do you think it's a bug on your side or is it from the hggit extension ? Thanks.

But the http problem still holds, if a git repo is served by http or ssh, you have to add 'git+' before the protocol for hggit to recognize it (else it will assume it is a mercurial repo). Also, I wasn't clear but when I tested the github and kernel.org repos, I used git+http.

Are you sure there is a http+git URI scheme for hg-git? Kind regards, -Alex

Well, on suckless.org the http clone support is provided by cgit (the git http frontend). Obviously there is some incompatibility. Maybe you want to let the hg-git guys know that.
