Indeed, I recall the mercurial maintainers discussing a move to git in all seriousness.



What? I don't believe this. Git has nothing that hg devs would want, and lacks many features that hg aficionados like me love. Where did you see this move?


Wish I could find it now, it was linked to on HN between 6 and 12 months ago IIRC, it was on an issue tracker or mailing list archive. A number of the devs were in favor of moving to git, it was shot down but was an interesting discussion and appeared to be serious. Git was a better fit for some particular use case in the workflow on Hg trunk, but now the details have escaped my mind.


It's April 2, no longer cool to be an April fool.
