I guess this is a matter of perspective. It doesn't work at all for me because it does not really support pushing. (It does have a "push" command, but at least last time I looked, it was utterly broken; see also <https://github.com/dubiousjim/yagh/blob/master/Backends.md> for a discussion (not written by me!). I'd be happy to learn that has changed, though I just looked, and it still uses "hg convert", so I don't see how it possibly could work...

Cheers, Max
