It's less about the VCS than the GitHub community.

  I dislike Hg, but I'd much rather use Hg than have anything to do with the GitHub "community".

    Okay. The time to express those sentiments was back when PEP 512 [0] was being discussed. [0] https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0512/ https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0512/

I'm not sure that's correct. https://hg.python.org/cpython/ https://hg.python.org/cpython/

  It is, though

    Well that sure settles things. I'm totally sure now. Guido's last commit, in both the github repo and the mercurial repo. https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/934aba66ef09e94422bcac86dd221011242e141d https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/934aba66ef09e94422b... https://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/3db1959c2c53 https://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/3db1959c2c53 Someone sensible may be able to shed some light on it. Presumably there's a bridge between the two somewhere.

      Per PEP 512 (https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0512/ https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0512/): This PEP outlines the steps required to migrate Python's development process from Mercurial [3] as hosted at hg.python.org [1] to Git [4] on GitHub [2] [...] The fate of hg.python.org With the code repositories moving over to Git [4] , there is no technical need to keep hg.python.org [1] running. Having said that, some in the community would like to have it stay functioning as a Mercurial [3] mirror of the Git repositories. Others have said that they still want a mirror, but one using Git. As maintaining hg.python.org is not necessary, it will be up to the PSF infrastructure committee to decide if they want to spend the time and resources to keep it running. They may also choose whether they want to host a Git mirror on PSF infrastructure.

Is one a mirror of the other?
