I explained to you multiple times already that is a different issue, but it somehow doesn't get through your skull. Let me try a different approach. git-remote-bzr has a regression in Git v2.0. Did you get the BAZAAR part? That's right, this is unrelated to Mercurial v3.0 because it doesn't have anything to do with Mercurial. *BOTH* git-remote-hg and git-remote-bzr have a regression in Git v2.0. > A recent report was about Hg 3.0 not working with 1.9.3, but I think > you earlier said all versions of Git does not work with Hg 3.0, and I > can believe it.

Sigh, you just don't seem to understand that you are thinking about a different issue. I don't think there's any other way I can explain it to you. -- Felipe Contreras
