It's sad they don't promote Mercurial as much as they do Git.
- DrJokepu 12y agoBack in the day BitBucket used to be Mercurial-only. Times change, I guess.
- gtaylor 12y agoFor a for-profit shop like Bitbucket, there's probably a business reason for that. I certainly don't have any metrics to back this up, but I can understand how they'd want to primarily appeal to what seems to be a wider git audience.
- anton_gogolev 12y agoFrom what I can see, whatever new functionality is being add to the site works equally well for Mercurial and Git (sans obvious differences in Hg/Git branching models). Pull Requests, Branch Permissions, Notifications, possibly something else, -- all work with Hg too. Yet they promote Git like crazy and leave Mercurial behind.
- ris 12y agoIt's worse than that - it seems almost as though there aren't many people left working on the project who understand Mercurial. Case in point: stripping Mercurial changesets from a repository has been almost completely broken for many months now with little interest or activity on the bug report.
