I personally love mercurial (simpler than git), and have been a bit nervious over the last year or so with the mindshare shift to git. So hearing about this (FB all in with hg) ensures that hg won't be falling behind... at least in the nearterm.

  Don't believe the hype. hg will be around for some time.

  I created this list to help me stop worrying: http://tshepang.net/major-projects-using-mercurial http://tshepang.net/major-projects-using-mercurial.

    It's working at the moment. I do not believe gmane would have deleted the contents of a public mailing list archive like this, so there must have been a transient technical problem.
