The issue with the previous comment was entirely due to phrasing, in my opinion. A "Show HN" of an open source project is a gift, the socially acceptable response would be to thank and politely refuse, and maybe suggest an improvement.
"This seems interesting, but I wish it supported other VCSs - you will have to claw Mercurial from my cold dead hands!" would have made the same point, but it'd wouldn't sound like the developers somehow owed something.
Saying "I wish it supported other vcs'" is like saying "I wish whales could fly".
An impossible situation.
The entire way it's designed to work is inherently tied to git, and thus flawed IMO.
