Hi, guys,

Is there still interest in moving MacVim to hg, now that Vim is using it, trying to preserve and combine Vim and MacVim history? I'd like to reinstate my offer to do some work on a conversion.

Even if MacVim development wishes to continue using git, there could be advantages in doing the conversion, as the hg-git extension for Mercurial can allow lossless conversion between git and hg changesets--this means at least changesets from Bram could be pushed to a git repo and pulled into MacVim rather than messing around with patches and so on.

The main hassle would be that people with current work in their git repos would need to clone afresh from the new repo and transfer their changes to that repo. Not insurmountable, but a nuisance.

Please be sure to CC me on any reply. I'm still not yet managing to keep a very close eye on the mailing list and might miss a reply if it only goes there.

Cheers,

Ben.
