While I find Zed's choice a good one -- GitHub (git) repos feeling more accessible, it pains me to think hg doesn't have as great a domination in this space. I feel Zed has a stronger affinity towards Python and the simplicity / extensions of Mercurial, which comes out in his post; it'd be great to have him more involved in that space.
But before we get into some "holy-war discussion" over VCSes, it's clear Zed just wants himself and his committers to get shit done.
- rogerbraun 15y agoThere is a plugin for Mercurial that makes it possible to use git repositories: http://hg-git.github.com/ http://hg-git.github.com/
- zedshaw 15y agoNobody on the Mongrel2 project uses hg or asked for it. But the github fans constantly complained like this was the end of the damn world. I figured since I had to move anyway, I might as well shut them up so I can get back to coding instead of spending hours on end having some dipshit preach at me about how much better his stupid ass religion^Wcommunity is.
- grandalf 15y agoZed I wouldn't be surprised if you end up getting a large money job offer from Github. Github w/o Zed is like Happy Days without the Fonz. Much respect to Zed for his hacking and inspiring work, as to Github for making a very useful product.
