I am too a Mercurial refugee and prefer Git, but how is that even a reason? People don't want to contribute if it's on a Mercurial repo?? Python seems to be doing fine on HG.
Meanwhile, thanks for your amazing work on SqlAlchemy(&co), zzzeek!
- gamache 13y agoI think what those users mean is that they want the project on Github. There's no concept of "pull requests" within Git. Anyway, most Git users aren't Mercurial refugees; I wager we're Subversion refugees and kids.

"Git comes with a nice pull-request generation module, but GitHub instead decided to replace it with their own totally inferior version." > I think what those users mean is that they want the project on Github. that would be even worse. luckily as zzzeek explained below, it wasn't the case.
- gamache 13y agoWow. I had no idea about git pull requests, so I even googled it, and didn't see it on page one. My mistake, thanks!
