I am starting a project that I hope some of you will be interested in.
I have been looking at DSCM tools for a few months now and I have
come away liking different aspects of different systems.  The project,
called Pyrite, aims to combine the best features of git and Mercurial.

Please stop by http://pyrite.sophiasuchtig.com/ to see the
announcement.  Links to the public repo in there.

From the description there it looks like Pyrite is (will be) something
in between porcelain (SCM layer) like (now deprecated) Cogito, StGit,
Guilt, and plumbings / reimplementation of Git, like jGit/eGit in Java
and (planned?) Widgit in C#, rather than new SCM, isn't it?

Yes, I guess it's going a bit far to say that it's a new SCM since I
will be re-using the git internals.  Mostly I said that because I hope
to re-implement large parts of it.  It is more than a porcelain layer
though.  I prefer to think of it as a system based on both tools.
