fwiw, from my pov
if you look around github and bitbucket people started their clones
there already
those repos contain patches (some of them are worthwhile pulling over)
also lifecycle/review of patches from community is easier already with
plain github
so from where I stand I did like the tools one gets out of box with git
(and yes, I am aware we could have continued with mercurial e.g. on
bitbucket, or on code.google.com , but let's do the git now)
otherwise if it's hg or git doesn't really matter

Hi Conrad,
OpenGrok grew out of opensolaris.org <http://opensolaris.org>, which
used (and still use) mercurial as the distributed SCM system. I don't
have that much problems with mercurial, but I do miss the flexibility
with patch management we've got with git. Its been a long time since I
followed "whats new" with mercurial, so these functionalities may be
available there as well.
My main motivation for using git is that I want us to use gerrit in
the future (I just need to figure out if there is somewhere we can get
the service, or if we need to set up a gerrit server ourselves).
Github is a popular hosting service, and by getting the code there
we're also hoping it will lower the bar for people to contribute to
the project (just send us a pull request etc).
Cheers,
Trond

Hey Trond,
I'm excited for the change over to git. What were the factors in
the decision? I've noticed a lot of open source projects that
are on CVS or svn generally pick one distributed system and stick
to it. I'm curious as to what drove the move from one distributed
scm to another.
In any case, I'm really looking forward to following OpenGrok on
github now.

Hi!
We've been using Mercurial as the source control management
system for OpenGrok for some years now, and for most of the
things we've been doing its been working fine.
As of today we want to move the development of OpenGrok from
Mercurial to Git (and hopefully get a gerrit server
up'n'running (see: http://code.google.com/p/gerrit/ ) to make
it easier for more people to get involved in the development
of OpenGrok (and make it easier for us to merge patches etc).
Please note that the _only_ thing that change is the location
of the master source repository. As of today please use:
https://github.com/OpenGrok
The new method to check out the git repository is now:
git clone git://github.com/OpenGrok/OpenGrok
<http://github.com/OpenGrok/OpenGrok>
when you've got a patch you'd like to submit to us you can
either do that via a pull request on github, or send the patch
to the mailing list. You create the patch(es) from:
git format-patch HEAD^
(HEAD^ creates a patch file from the latest patch in your
repository).
Happy hacking folks!
Cheers,
Trond
