For mercurial, there's hgsvn, but it doesn't support putting changes back like git-svn does. If we're building a releasable product, there's always going to be an element of centralization, whether that's reflected in our VCS or not. I've found myself wondering about a combined model where we use svn as the central repo for major lines of development and tags, and git as something we use "around the edges". Anyone know of any decent-sized projects using such a model? - Chris On Wed, Nov 12, 2008 at 11:35 AM, Phil Cryer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Tue, 2008-11-11 at 16:13 -0500, Bill Branan wrote: >> During our developer meetings last week, Eddie brought up the >> potential of switching from Subversion to Mercurial for source >> control.
