My 2 cents: I just signed up for a Bitbucket account, and all of the new-user tutorials I'm presented with encourage me to start a git repo. In fact, I've only seen Mercurial mentioned once so far. Is Bitbucket leaning towards git now, or is that just my impression? Based upon my experience with Vim plugins and plugin managers, I get the distinct feeling that the larger proportion of plugins are hosted in git repositories these days, specifically on GitHub. For that matter, even the NeoVim guys are on GitHub. A cursory search for "vim plugin" on GitHub brings up 4,620 results. Whereas on Bitbucket I found only 230 results. At any rate, my vote is to take this opportunity to migrate to git. I feel that while git and Mercurial are on even footing feature-wise, Vim is the only project I use which is hosted in a Mercurial repo, to the point that my Mercurial skills are seriously atrophied. I'm confident that is the experience for the majority of Vim users. I don't have a preference between Bitbucket vs. GitHub. Both services seem robust and healthy. -- Erik Falor Registered Linux User #445632 http://linuxcounter.net -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
