Git-cinnabar is a git remote helper to interact with mercurial
repositories. It allows to clone, pull and push from/to mercurial remote
repositories, using git.
Code on https://github.com/glandium/git-cinnabar

Development had been stalled for a few months, with many improvements in
the `next` branch without any new release. I used some time during the
new year break and after in order to straighten things up in order to
create a new release, delaying many of the originally planned changes to
a future 0.4.0 release.
What's new since 0.2.2?
- Speed and memory usage were improved when doing `git push`.
- Now works on Windows, at least to some extent. See details[1].
- Support for pre-0.1.0 git-cinnabar repositories was removed. You must
first use a git-cinnabar version between 0.1.0 and 0.2.2 to upgrade
its metadata.
- It is now possible to attach/graft git-cinnabar metadata to existing
commits matching mercurial changesets. This allows to migrate from
some other hg-to-git tool to git-cinnabar while preserving the
existing git commits. See an example of how this works with the git
clone of the Gecko mercurial repository[2]
- Avoid mercurial printing its progress bar, messing up with
git-cinnabar's output.
- It is now possible to fetch from an incremental mercurial bundle
(without a root changeset).
- It is now possible to push to a new mercurial repository without `-f`.
- By default, reject pushing a new root to a mercurial repository.
- Make the connection to a mercurial repository through ssh respect the
`GIT_SSH` and `GIT_SSH_COMMAND` environment variables.
- `git cinnabar` now has a proper argument parser for all its
subcommands.
- A new `git cinnabar python` command allows to run python scripts or
open a python shell with the right sys.path to import the cinnabar
module.
- All git-cinnabar metadata is now kept under a single ref (although for
convenience, other refs are created, but they can be derived if
necessary).
- Consequently, a new `git cinnabar rollback` command allows to roll
back to previous metadata states.
- git-cinnabar metadata now tracks the manifests DAG.
- A new `git cinnabar bundle` command allows to create mercurial
bundles, mostly for debugging purposes, without requiring to hit a
mercurial server.
- Updated git to 2.7.0 for the native helper.
Development process changes
Up to before this release closing in, the `master` branch was dedicated
to releases, and development was happening on the `next` branch, until a
new release happens.
>From now on, the `release` branch will take dot-release fixes and new
releases, while the `master` branch will receive all changes that are
validated through testing (currently semi-automatically tested with
out-of-tree tests based on four real-life mercurial repositories, with
some automated CI based on in-tree tests used in the future).
The `next` branch will receive changes to be tested in CI when things
will be hooked up, and may have rewritten history as a consequence of
wanting passing tests on every commit on `master`.

Great news! I was really sad when Sverre's work on remote-hg was basically
ignored and replaced (and he went away after that), and then the
replacement was not maintained properly.
So I am personally very happy that there is a well-maintained alternative
now.
Hopefully I will get a chance to test this soon, but I already have one

https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/wiki/32-bit-issues
Git for Windows executes the rebaseall step as part of the installation,
so it should not have the same issue as MSys2 32-bits ;-)

Please feel free to update the wiki page, it should be publicly editable

This is a brown paper bag release. It turns out I managed to break the
upgrade path only 10 commits before the release.
What's new since 0.3.0?
- `git cinnabar fsck` doesn't fail to upgrade metadata.
- The remote.$remote.cinnabar-draft config works again.
- Don't fail to clone an empty repository.
- Allow to specify mercurial configuration items in a .git/hgrc file.

I have a bit of a different recollection of that story; in particular, his tool was quite limited, and quickly broke down when used.

If you are talking about felipe's git-remote-hg: I am maintaining a fork of that, and it works quite well for me (I use it daily, and so do many other people):
<https://github.com/fingolfin/git-remote-hg>
That said, I certainly am not putting much energy into it, so I am very happy to see that Mike is active on his new tool :-).
Cheers,
Max
