Hg-Git: Git back end for mercurial

• interroboink 2y ago
  Nice to see Mercurial on HN — my favorite version control software (: I remember years ago learning that in some way Mercurial repo functionality was a "superset" of Git, the main issue being Mercurial's "named branches" — you could not round-trip those through Git. But you can round-trip all Git stuff through Mercurial. I wonder how this project deals with that? Or maybe something has advanced on one side or the other so now they can round-trip each other.

    As git repos greatly outnumber hg repos (sadly:) it's enough to support all git functions to be useful. For example to work with github.

  Wonderful to see the spirit of Kiln alive and well!
