I'm doing this myself for quite some time, and apart from a few caveats, it works just fine. From my experience, hg is vastly superior to git, which is simply a usability nightmare, as Dan Berlin discovered when he worked on setting up the hg mirror. > Also, i would volunteer to fix this, and even to maintain the mirror. Is this the right place to ask ? I don't even know if that's something that would be well accepted. Any interest for this ? It would certainly be good to keep this working and promote it, especially if this could be a complete conversion of the svn repo, not trunk only.
