For reasons that all git users understand I still want to use git. So I'm wondering if others git users faced the same problem and if so how they did workaround it ? I found hg2git which could have solve my issue but it seems pretty old and no more maintained. Thanks -- Francis ``` ## Johannes Schindelin, 2009-02-17 23:34 Subject: Re: Don't want to leave git for hg Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/alpine.DEB.1.00.0902180030500.10279%40pacific.mpi-cbg.de In-Reply-To: ``` Hi, On Tue, 17 Feb 2009, Francis Moreau wrote: > I found hg2git which could have solve my issue but it seems pretty old > and no more maintained. You did not say from where you have it, so I would never know if you mean the same as I do. I use the hg2git from http://repo.or.cz/w/fast-export.git and it works pretty well, most of the time.

Maybe just learn mercurial, and submit patches for any features that you desperately miss? I doubt your employer will want you faffing around with hg2git etc just because of one or two minor missing features. > I found hg2git which could have solve my issue but it seems pretty old > and no more maintained. > > Thanks > -- > Francis > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in > the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html > ``` ## Francis Moreau, 2009-02-18 08:39 Subject: Re: Don't want to leave git for hg Message-ID: <38b2ab8a0902180039n5080e55t809c1f6ff13cef71@mail.gmail.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/38b2ab8a0902180039n5080e55t809c1f6ff13cef71%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` Hello, On Wed, Feb 18, 2009 at 12:34 AM, Johannes Schindelin wrote: > On Tue, 17 Feb 2009, Francis Moreau wrote: > >> I found hg2git which could have solve my issue but it seems pretty old >> and no more maintained. > > You did not say from where you have it, so I would never know if you mean > the same as I do.

Ok I missed this one. Since you may have the same needs as mine, I'm asking another question: once you have finished your work in your git repo, how do you reintegrate them into the hg repo ? do you use patches or something else ? thanks -- Francis ``` ## Johannes Schindelin, 2009-02-18 10:28 Subject: Re: Don't want to leave git for hg Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/alpine.DEB.1.00.0902181126210.6274%40intel-tinevez-2-302 In-Reply-To: <38b2ab8a0902180039n5080e55t809c1f6ff13cef71@mail.gmail.com> ``` Hi, On Wed, 18 Feb 2009, Francis Moreau wrote: > On Wed, Feb 18, 2009 at 12:34 AM, Johannes Schindelin > wrote: > > On Tue, 17 Feb 2009, Francis Moreau wrote: > > > >> I found hg2git which could have solve my issue but it seems pretty old > >> and no more maintained. > > > > You did not say from where you have it, so I would never know if you mean > > the same as I do. > > I used the version hosted by github somehow: > > git://github.com/vitaly/hg2git.git > > > I use the hg2git from http://repo.or.cz/w/fast-export.git and it works > > pretty well, most of the time. > > Ok I missed this one. > > Since you may have the same needs as mine, I'm asking another > question: once you have finished your work in your git repo, how do > you reintegrate them into the hg repo ? do you use patches or > something else ? Ah, I do not need to do that... But yes, I would use patches (there must be a git-am lookalike in Hg). Or maybe their fast-import equivalent I heard rumors of. Ciao, Dscho ```
