Isn't it good time to move v4l2-dvb tree to GIT? I am not aware of any hg-to-git repo. converter, but I can check with hg and git community. It could be difficult at first, but I am very confident that there are many GIT users here than mercurial, and yes your v4l-dvb maintenance process might change due move from GIT, but atleast you will not have to internal user meta-data per patch. -- ---Trilok Soni http://triloksoni.wordpress.com http://www.linkedin.com/in/triloksoni -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
