Because we accept stuff to contrib/, with an assumption that it is to stay there without contaminating the main part of the system, the quality of stuff in contrib/ can be sub-par and it is very possible that a lot of clean-ups and fixes are necessary before moving them out. > Perhaps it is OK to move an undocumented remote-helper > with known bugs out of contrib. We should strive to apply the same criteria as new submission to the main part of the system. And inputs from people like you who have more experiences than others on the list in dealing with hg-to-git bridging are very much welcomed to identify and document what kind of breakages there are, and to come up with the solution to them.
