I'm about to press the transfer button, the redirect should work, but people should update their local paths when it goes into effect nonetheless.

I don't see an issue with this as long as foss.heptapod.net <http://foss.heptapod.net> isn't making claims that it is the official home of the project. Just sprinkle some links to mercurial-scm.org <http://mercurial-scm.org> around the GitLab projects and repo descriptions and you will be fine.

Noted, we already have a message saying that this is not the canonical repo with a link to the official one.

    Seems fine to me. Can you add it to the project infrastructure
    wiki page with appropriate contact people listed?

Will do

        Hi all,

        We've seen some people think that
        foss.heptapod.net/octobus/mercurial-devel
        <http://foss.heptapod.net/octobus/mercurial-devel> is an
        Octobus-only repository
        and serves some sort of company purpose. The URL includes
        "octobus"
        purely because we historically didn't want to send the wrong
        message
        that this repository was official in any form by using
        "mercurial" directly.

        Nowadays the vast majority of the CI for the project runs on
        Heptapod
        and people outside of Octobus have been using this repository
        for a
        while. We want to encourage external developers to contribute to
        Mercurial in the way they find easier, and Heptapod is a good
        way of
        running patches against the CI, getting feedback before
        submission.

        This is of course *not* a proposal to make this repo the
        canonical one,
        but simply to ask if people had any objections to renaming
        (and keeping
        the redirect, of course)
        foss.heptapod.net/octobus/mercurial-devel
        <http://foss.heptapod.net/octobus/mercurial-devel> to
        foss.heptapod.net/mercurial/mercurial-devel
        <http://foss.heptapod.net/mercurial/mercurial-devel>.

        Depending on how fast people answer and if we agree or not it
        might not
        be my doing, since I'll be off for two weeks starting Saturday.

        Thanks,
        Raphaël
