Back when I worked on Firefox, mozilla-central was an hg (mercurial) repo.
A teammate maintained a plug-in for git to talk to hg servers, called git cinnibar, IIRC.
Never had to leave the familiarity of git, it was great.
At Google, there's a "git wrapper" for our perforce fork, except nothing at all like git (git5, a play on p4 I suppose).
Context switching between git and anything else at this point for me is a considerable waste of my time.
In the same vein, this looks useful for folks more familiar with hg.

My last job used a mix of SVN, Clearquest (with and without UCM) and Git for different projects. It wasn't that big of a deal. You just need to learn the concepts if there are new ones and how to use the commands/GUI. At the end of the day, it's just a version control system. People are far too invested in their tools.
- damnyou 7y agoYou haven't checked out fig yet? It's an hg frontend for your monorepo and a little birdie tells me that within google it's a lot more popular than git5
