I really wish GitHub would add support for Mercurial.

There's nothing wrong with BitBucket - I use that right now - but it's clear that GitHub is the innovator and market leader in the field of online source repos.

There's the Hg-Git plugin: http://hg-git.github.com/ I have no idea how well it works, but I know we have customers using it now.

I saw that sometime ago but it looked like

a) A crutch

b) Abandonware

But if you're saying that people are using it then maybe I ought to give it a shot.

There was some interesting discussion about the current state of the hg-git plugin on the Changelog show last month (episode 0.4.9) when they interviewed Scott Chacon from Github.

I use it for RubyPython.
