Mercurial and Git are pretty similar in their concept (if > not in how the data is actually stored). That touches on something that I have been thinking about for a while. How difficult are the storage formats? Would it be possible, in a reasonable amount of work, to add support for the Mercurial protocol and format in "git clone", so that I could clone a Mercurial repository and work on it with Git, and then possibly use "git push" to possibly push the result back to Mercurial? It seems to me that use of DVCS is polarising between Git, Mercurial and Bzr. It would be nice to have easy interoperability between the systems, at least as far as can be covered by the lowest common denominator of what they support. I would love to be able to use Git to clone a Bzr repository that I need to be able to access, since bzr is just different enough from Git to be annoying. Same goes for Mercurial. And I am sure that users of the other tools feel the same. Would it be possible to design a common transfer format that could be implemented by all three (and that would be a little smarter than fast-export/fast-import)? -- \\// Peter - http://www.softwolves.pp.se/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
