I'm sure a hook would make it much easier for Bram to maintain a mirror. Would it actually work on the server side, though, since it requires a plugin to be installed to actually push from git to Hg or vice versa? I agree multiple bug trackers would be a bad idea, but I also think going to ONE location for both bug tracker and the repository is ideal. If Bram is using pull requests then maybe it's worth the extra hassle, due to having so many users already on GitHub. But if Bram is not going to use pull requests, then I think finding a provider that supports the following features would be best: * Ability to link a git and Mercurial repository together under one project/folder * Ability to have a shared issue tracker. Optional: automatic mirroring/conversion/syncing between the two systems I don't think BitBucket can do linked/organized repositories (there is an open issue: https://bitbucket.org/site/master/issue/2323/create-a-way-to-group-repositories) and I KNOW GitHub doesn't support Mercurial. I *think* Kiln can do these things (but maybe not the automatic mirror unless they re-enable their Harmony feature). Does anyone know of other sites that can do all these things and make it easy? -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
