Don't want to leave git for hg

Don't want to leave git for hg

[Francis Moreau]

Hello,

I unfortunately have to work on a hg repository.

For reasons that all git users understand I still want to use git.

So I'm wondering if others git users faced the same problem and if so
how they did workaround it ?

I found hg2git which could have solve my issue but it seems pretty old
and no more maintained.

Thanks

You did not say from where you have it, so I would never know if you mean 
the same as I do.

I use the hg2git from http://repo.or.cz/w/fast-export.git and it works 
pretty well, most of the time.

I used the version hosted by github somehow:

git://github.com/vitaly/hg2git.git

Ok I missed this one.

Since you may have the same needs as mine, I'm asking another
question: once you have finished your work in your git repo, how do
you reintegrate them into the hg repo ? do you use patches or
something else ?

Ah, I do not need to do that...  But yes, I would use patches (there must 
be a git-am lookalike in Hg).  Or maybe their fast-import equivalent I 
heard rumors of.

Maybe just learn mercurial, and submit patches for any features that
you desperately miss?  I doubt your employer will want you faffing
around with hg2git etc just because of one or two minor missing
features.
