Re: [PATCH 0/4] remote-hg: more improvements

I addressed every issue reported constructively, every bug report was
fixed, every patch reviewed and usually improved by me. I made sure
users of older versions wouldn't be affected negatively when the marks
file was upgraded, and I even setup automatic tests for different
versions Bazaar and Mercurial that run every time I push to my
repository.

It is *way* beyond the quality of any other tool in 'contrib/' and even
some tools in the core, like 'git-request-pull' (which has known bugs),
and probably even 'git-pt'.

Junio, can you comment on this? I understand this probably doesn't
really affect the issue at hand, but it'd help clarify if it's ever
possible to move out of contrib/ nowadays.

If git-remote-hg belongs out-of-tree, so does git-svn and git-p4. If
git-remote-hg belongs in the contrib area, so does git-svn, and git-p4.

Here too, can you clarify a bit about what should be out of tree and
what should be in contrib? I understand that not all rules are set in
stone and that there is an historical baggage for which applying all
rules is probably more trouble than it's worth, but again it's nice to
clarify for future users. Also it'd probably be worth commenting on
unwritten rules about human factors (easyness of communication,
response to criticisim, ability to make concessions, etc).
