=46WIW, I've been maintaining a hg mirror of pkgsrc for a while. Unfortunat=
ely=20
mismatches have crept in over time between the version in hg and the upstre=
am=20
repository, and I do see warnings about untracked files in the conversion=20
process.
I am not sure whether this is due to an outright problem with cvs20hg (whic=
h=20
was never claimed by the author to be perfect), or something environmental.=
=20
Either way I have not investigated.
The question is whether there exists a trustworthy p4->{git,hg,mtn,whatever=
}=20
conversion path. The best way to find out is probably to try it out,=20
preferably on the real repository.
In terms of my offer host, the problem with hg is that the hg CGI script is=
=20
not scalable (separate huge python process for each concurrent client, and=
=20
significant resources requires for each synch, increasing the potential for=
=20
concurrency). My impression is that git should be hugely more scalable in=20
this regard, so was hoping for reliable p4->git in particular for this=20
reason.
