I suppose I can try this out now, since the github repository is for testing only. You mentioned the size of the repository after "export to github" was much larger than the one resulting from the local conversion. How do you see that? > > > 3.

Actually, what I can do for testing is run the cleanup script for Mercurial, without pushing the changes back to Google code. Then run the local conversion script and do push the result to github. Then we should see exactly what we would get eventually, while not touching what is currently the official repository. Sounds like a safe and useful exercise. -- No letters of the alphabet were harmed in the creation of this message. /// Bram Moolenaar -- [email protected] -- http://www.Moolenaar.net \\\ /// sponsor Vim, vote for features -- http://www.Vim.org/sponsor/ \\\ \\\ an exciting new programming language -- http://www.Zimbu.org /// \\\ help me help AIDS victims -- http://ICCF-Holland.org /// -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
