google code likes to be down every once in a while. Maybe it's not often, but I've seen the "google code will be in read-only mode at this date" message several times now..

The only reason I ask is because the DWT2 repository is already a mercurial repository and because there are forks on bitbucket.

Works great so far, everything seems to work. Not tried to push or check in, but I suppose it would work just fine. One of Mercurial's strengths is really how easy Python makes it to create extensions and tools.On 11.08.2011 19:58, Jacob Carlborg wrote:I have been thinking the same myself.

I've tried hg-git a while ago but the extension wouldn't register for me for some reason. Anyway I use msysgit now, it's not *too* bad, but you really have to know your way around the shell. E.g. viewing logs uses HJKL keys and Q to exit, and to enable pasting you have to select "quick edit mode" for the shell window and use shift+insert instead of ctrl+v (I've tried setting ctrl+v in .bashrc but with no luck). There's also a few redrawing bugs where the window shows garbled text once in a while.. It's really rather poor support, but I don't use a lot of git's functionality so in the end it's ok for me. Here's my .bashrc: TERM=msys alias ..='cd ..' alias cd..='cd ..' alias dir="ls -F" alias gd='git pull origin master' alias gp='git push origin master' alias co='git checkout' alias gc='git add -A && git commit -m' alias gs='git status' alias gm='git checkout master' alias c:='cd /c/' alias d:='cd /d/' alias e:='cd /e/' alias f:='cd /f/' alias g:='cd /g/' I'm not a fan of Tortoise because it slows down file access in explorer regardless if I'm in a directory with a git repository or not.

My log viewer is just gitk and diffs are in gvim. Your problems with exist in every command prompt I've used in windows, though right click works for me even though I've seen others where it does not.

Here's the command I use: D:\Apps\Console2\Console.exe -d "C:\Program Files\Git\bin" -r "/k sh.exe --login -i" That's in a desktop shortcut, of course you would have to change the paths accordingly. For those who don't know, you can get console2 from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/console/ It's basically a wrapper around shells, it's not an actual intepreter. But the cool thing is that you can copy/paste, and there's even tab support.

Ah nevermind, I figured out I can actually run the git shell via console2, which has copy+pasting.

Oh wait, this appears to be a *soft* limit only. I'm not sure exactly what that means, but the pop-up says: "GitHub does not have any hard storage limits. We have soft limits for each plan to prevent abuse. We find almost everyone uses a small fraction of this limit. If you find yourself needing more disk space for a legitimate use, email support github.com. "
