So sad to see that no articles about this even mention Mercurial. This is a golden opportunity for Hg providers to shine.

this not a `git` failure per se...

  • Yes, but the thing is just that if people are looking around for new providers it's an opportunity for alternative systems to attract attention and users.

    • because github is subpar, you will try to convince people to migrate their repositories to $NOT_GIT so they can try a different hosting service ? doesn’t sound like a pragmatic choice to me.

I never liked git and held on the Mercurial until a couple years ago. Now, for all I do, jj is a better Mercurial than Mercurial.

I miss Bitbucket's Mercurial offering.

  • But Github is already fully volatile, capricious, fickle, erratic, unpredictable, variable, inconsistent, changeable, unstable, whimsical, protean, fluid, and a polluting poisonous room temperature liquid heavy metal, so why would you also need mercurial?
