Mercurial prints the first 12 bytes of the hexlified sha1 by default, but everything is recorded using the full sha1, and can be referenced as such. You can view the full sha1 in a number of ways, the easiest would be "hg log --limit 1 --de

The http protocol was definitely the dealbreaker. That said, if you think hg is less secure than git you've bought into some FUD (the models are so similar it's almost silly, and the security quality is identical). The speed differences bet

Huh? Are you pushing to a local repository? When pushing to a local repo, dulwich calls a local git binary. I don't see any calls to git-index-pack in either hg-git or dulwich in a cursory grep, which matches my memory.

I'm also the actual maintainer of hg-git at this point, FWIW.

This is absurd. We use Mercurial and Dulwich code in the project hosting site, and those are both GPL. We're very careful about where we allow GPL'd code, but we do use it quite a bit. Obviously, we're more paranoid about AGPL, but that's r

I wonder if there's an age difference thing here. I'm unusual for my early twenties (AFAICT) in that I have several numbers in my head (including most of my college phone numbers, original home phone number, etc). Most of my friends are hel

It's similar, but uses some tricks so that you don't have to heavily modify the build tools to use it.

Is it copyright assignment or a contributor license agreement? They're very different. In the former case, you disclaim all rights to your own code. In the latter case, you're making it possible for another entity to relicense your code w

Oy, I dunno. I actually use an IRC gateway for XMPP group chats because irssi does so well for the medium. My team at work uses an IRC channel for adhoc group conversations, and that's the only IRC channel most of us are in. I also have a s

I was unclear above. My experiences getting git wedged came well before I ever taught git. I'm much handier with it now, and haven't wedged it in literally years. That said, I've found it easier to teach hg and svn since shooting one's foot

I'm not so sure. All but one of the Bazaar users I know uses it only because Canonical and/or GNU* require it. * Emacs uses Bazaar for "branding" reasons IIRC.

I'd welcome a patch to make hg-git have hg use any .gitignore data checked in to the repo. It's not impossible, just nobody's done it. (I'm the hg-git maintainer.)

Yes, and /bin/sh is often not bash. A sufficiently hosed system may give you only /bin/sh until you can repair things, and knowing these tricks in those cases can be a real lifesaver.

Nearly everything internal is still Perforce. The Android group (and maybe bits of Chrome? not sure) is nearly the only user of git.

I actually don't know anyone that was issued a privacy screen and told they had to use it. Sounds like a good policy though. (Just offering my own data point here.)
