If vim/vim's history is just going to be replaced with vim-jp/vim's, then why do the conversion? Just let them know when the last push to Mercurial happens so they can sync their repo and then use a clone of their repo to seed vim/vim. $ git clone https://github.com/vim-jp/vim $ cd vim $ git remote set-url origin [email protected]:vim/vim.git $ git push --mirror origin The only potential benefit to doing the conversion is that it ports the issues to Github. Most (if not all) of those issues are already tracked in todo.txt, though, and the converted issues aren't associated with the original reporters, so even doing that is of questionable value.
