Hi all. I've packaged hg-fast-export (ITP#574914), it is uploaded to http://mentors.debian.net/cgi-bin/maintainer-packages?action=details;package=hg-fast-export and http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/hg-fast-export.git;a=summary I've seeking not only a sponsor, but, more importantly, any comments. The package is used incrementally import/convert Mercurial repositories to git and I've packaged it to be able to store upstream hg history in a git.d.o repository. If there are more comfortable ways to do that, I'd be glad to use them. If there is no such ways, this package looks very useful to many people who also want to store upstream history in git (there was a small thread on -devel@ several days ago about this). In this case I do not want to upload a low-quality package so I want reviews or even maintainership help/takeover. Here is short tutorial for the mentioned use case: hg clone http://hgrepo/ ~/hg/foo mkdir ~/git/foo; cd ~/git/foo git init hg-fast-export -r ~/hg/foo -o upstream Now we have upstream branches as upstream/branchname git branches and upstream tags as git tags. To import newer commits, one does hg pull in ~/hg/foo and repeats hg-fast-export invocation in ~/git/foo. -- WBR, wRAR
