Folks,
The Xen project has used mercurial for the primary repositories for many
years. However, with external projects (including Linux and qemu) using git,
this has led to us using and supporting two revision-control systems. Our
plan therefore, with the 4.2.0 release soon out of the way, is to switch to
git for all of our primary repositories. We will plan to mirror development
activity into the old mercurial repositories at least in the short term.
We will make a further announcement nearer to the time of the switchover.
Regards,
Keir & The Xen Team

For those who want to continue using mercurial there is an hg-git
extension that allows you to clone/pull/push from/to git repositories.
hg-git 0.3.3 works with mercurial 2.3.

Hi everybody,
I am wondering whether it wouldn't be better to have a vote about this. At
least in this case, nobody will be able to complain in the future.

So if we're having a vote on this, as discussed:
+1

+1 here.
Having the SCM system consistent with the other 2 projects intimately tied
with Xen (linux, and qemu) has definite advantages.

+1.
I actually prefer mercurial personally, but it's pretty clear that a
large % of devs are already using git for xen development, using a
mirror; and that's just silly. :-)

I'm pretty comfortable with both git and hg but I've found myself using
the git mirror more frequently recently.
For committer type activities tools like git am and rebase -i etc are
far superior to the hg equivalents, at least with the Squeeze versions
of both tools.
