And in case you have missed it, there is work going on right now to add hg and bzr remote-helper support to git. In particular, if you look at the latest RC announcement[1] for git v1.8.1 we see * A new remote-helper interface for Mercurial has been added to contrib/remote-helpers. and in the most recent "What's cooking"[2] (dev updates) we see * fc/remote-bzr (2012-12-13) 10 commits [snipped] New remote helper for bzr (v3). With minor fixes, this may be ready for 'next'. A big hats off to Felipe Contreras[4] who has done a lot of work to get these updates rolled out. Not sure how many others have been involved, but thanks! The latest RC is available from the usual places, for example [3].
