I'm slightly nervous about the name-based repository layout though, as it's such a horrible lose in the case of CVS -- git's "content based" storage is very appealing in that sense. I'm also slightly confused by the relationship between git and mercurial -- can mercurial clone/pull/push from/to a git tree and vice-versa? Thanks, -Miles -- Run away! Run away!
