For what it's worth, Mike Bayer successfully migrated SQLAlchemy from svn to hg and then to git. He now has an amazing system set up whereby commits can be made by contributors through either GitHub or BitBucket, I thought he still had Trac rigged up on sqlalchemy.org, but looks like the issue tracker has migrated to bitbucket... I believe his reasons for moving are similar to those I've read in Guido's posts.On Nov 23, 2014, at 08:55 AM, Guido van Rossum wrote:- Moving from Hg to Git is a fair amount of one-time workFor anyone seriously interested in this, even experimentally, I would highly suggest looking at Eric Raymond's reposurgeon code. You can google it or find it covered in the vast discussions of his conversion of the Emacs repository from bazaar to git. I don't know for a fact that it would handle an hg to git conversion, but it's the most likely candidate for something so complex. There's a lot of similarity in the history of the Emacs and Python repositories, having gone through many previous iterations of vcs's - in Python's case, at least cvs, svn, and hg.
I believe he also has notes on what he did and how things are set up...
