They could just convert them to Git repos automatically. If you do that manually, their press release implies that the repos will stay around. So it can't be a disk space issue. Why haven't they offered to do this rather than just remove them?
- jobigoud 7y agoAccording to the comments on the OP they tried to make a tool but couldn't make sure it would work in all cases for all repos, so they decided to not make a tool (and delete our repos instead). Such a disgrace. The funny thing is that github has an import tool. Since we are forced to move to the industry standard of DVCS, I guess many will use this opportunity to move to the industry standard of platforms as well. For my use case Bitbucket is now inferior or equal in all respects.
