Folks, I just noticed that Bitbucket has delayed dropping support for Mercurial until July 01 thanks to the pandemic.
Has anyone made a successful migration/conversion of a Bitbucket Mercurial repo to Bitbucket Git? I ask because I have about 100 repos to move and I haven't found any tool or instructions that I can understand. Hints on the Bitbucket page suggest Fast Export <https://github.com/frej/fast-export> and some sort of Git plugin. <https://hg-git.github.io/> But these seem to require Python installed and even a C compiler, which is a terrible burden. Even worse, I only have a basic working knowledge of VCS and all of the instructions I've found so far are utterly incomprehensible. I found some posts which give cryptic sequences of commands to supposedly do a migration, but the two that I've tried fail very early on with gibberish errors. So I'm starting to panic a bit due to time running out, and I'm getting really angry that this process is so impenetrable. I'm fuming angry that Bitbucket itself has done stuff-all to help its customers, just thrown a few stupid suggestions their way. Any sensible advice on conversion would be most welcome. Can DevOps (or anyone) directly import a Mercurial repo? *Greg K*
