I don't agree.  With the current set of SCMs, I don't think it will  
be long
before somebody invents a gitweb/Mercurial/whatever gateway, such  
that I can
"hg serve" from my Mercurial repository and have Linus "git pull" from a
multiprotocol bridge.

the good news is that we're no longer locked into the whims of
some proprietary system.  so it should be straight forward for  
those who
choose any tool to work with those who've chosen another.  this is  
already
evidenced by the fact that the git repository is pulled and re- 
exeported
with mecurial.

I agree completely!  Cheers to the end of proprietary revision storage!

anyway, all the best, just wish you guys would spend less time  
trying to
convert git users and more time advancing your own tool.

A project with no users isn't much of a project, now is it?  In any  
case,
this thread has long since passed its usefulness, so let's let it  
die, ok?

Cheers,
