I was part of the team that came up with it and I am inordinately proud of it. :-)
- shuzchen 13y agoDoes guestrepo support non-hg guestrepos (as subrepos does)? My beef with git submodules is it only allows git.
- pnathan 13y agoSorry about the delay in answering. No. Guestrepos does not handle non-hg repositories. I'm not offhand sure how complicated that would be. At some level, it should be very simple: `git clone && git checkout $rev`. Pretty sure that a simplistic foreign implementation would work quite well.
