In another thread, you raised the possibility of switching to Mercurial
instead of git. After vigorous debate, you failed to change the broad
consensus that has formed around git. I will not rehash that thread
here, but I think we can agree that your concerns were heard. Please
focus now on making the transition to git as smooth as possible. You are
welcome to use hg-git once the transition is complete.
