That touches on something that I have been thinking about for a while.
How difficult are the storage formats? Would it be possible, in a
reasonable amount of work, to add support for the Mercurial protocol
and format in "git clone", so that I could clone a Mercurial repository
and work on it with Git, and then possibly use "git push" to possibly
push the result back to Mercurial?
It seems to me that use of DVCS is polarising between Git, Mercurial
and Bzr. It would be nice to have easy interoperability between the
systems, at least as far as can be covered by the lowest common
denominator of what they support. I would love to be able to use Git to
clone a Bzr repository that I need to be able to access, since bzr is
just different enough from Git to be annoying. Same goes for Mercurial.
And I am sure that users of the other tools feel the same.
Would it be possible to design a common transfer format that could be
implemented by all three (and that would be a little smarter than
fast-export/fast-import)?
