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 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.
