Thanks everyone, Yes, maintaining history was always my plan. I have already (locally) cloned all hg-repositories in question using git-remote-hg ( https://github.com/felipec/git-remote-hg) and have them as git repositories that contain the whole history. I've been using git-remote-hg for quite a while now and it's working so well that I never had to bother learning to work with hg directly.
Thanks also for inviting me to BlueObelisk on GitHub. Most repositories are now ready to be pushed directly to GitHub once stubs have been created there. The jumbo-converters repo seems to contain at least one (zip) file that is larger than 100M somewhere in its history (probably containing gaussian log files) and pushing to GH is therefore rejected. I should be able to filter them out. Deprecating the old repositories and leaving a redirection to the new location might be more difficult as this will require access to the wwmm and cml accounts on Bitbucket. Peter mentioned in our call that he doesn't remember the passwords for them but that they are likely "user" accounts and not "Teams" where several users could have "owner" or "manager" privileges. @Mark: do you maybe remember more? In any case: the Mercurial repos will be deleted by Bitbucket on June 1, 2020. If we can't regain access to the Bitbucket hg-repositories, I can add a statement to the README.md files of each repo that says, e.g.: NOTE: As of Janurary 1st, 2020 https://github.com/BlueObelisk/jumbo-converters is the new offical repository. This repository was previously hosted at: https://bitbucket.org/wwmm/jumbo-converters If someone still has at least push-access to the old repositories, we can push this message there as well -- or once the hg-repos have been deleted, create new repos at Bitbucket with the same name that just contain this message. However in my own Bitbucket repositories I don't see any functionality that correspronds to GitHubs: "Archive this repository -- Mark this repository as archived and read-only."
