• 
  1 bug fix

Scott Chacon should know better than to maintain a site like http://whygitisbetterthanx.com/. He’s the author of hg-git.

If you’re not using either Git or Mercurial (hg) (or Bazaar or some other appropriate DVCS), you should be. I prefer hg, but I think git is generally fine. Scott Chacon, however, thinks that git is unquestionably better than hg ( Read more... )

Update: vlad-hg is now a part of the hitsquad project, at version 2.0.1. The bump in version is just to switch which project it’s released through-no actual changes except to the README.

$ hg convert svn://my-repo.example.com/svn/project/trunk project
Some of my bigger projects, though, made the convert extension choke on my many branches. For ( Read more... )
