I've looked at many hg<->git tools and none satisfy me. Too
complicated, or too slow, or to difficult to setup, etc.

The one I merged into Git for Windows (since that is what I install on
all my machines even if they run Linux) is rock-solid. It also comes
with tests. And it requires a fix I tried to get into git.git (but
failed, since I was asked to do much more in addition to what I needed
for myself, and I lack the time to address such requests these days).

Maybe, but who uses it? It's quite a lot of code, and it's quite
difficult to setup--you would need a non-vanilla version of git.

Okay, so the difficulty of setting it up is because it is not in mainline
git.git?

Compare this:
32 files changed, 3351 insertions(+), 289 deletions(-)

To this:
1 file changed, 231 insertions(+)

Yeah, and that's also because of the severe lack of tests. And the lack of
possible code-sharing with other remote helpers.

As for who uses it:

	https://github.com/dscho/hg

It would be better to work together, but to me the code-styles are way
too different, the difference between night and day.

Aha. Well, okay, it was an offer to collaborate.

Ciao,
Johannes
