Dear Carnë,

I would like to convert the divand source repository from hg to git. As far as I am aware I am the only person how has committed to the divand source code.

I use several clusters for my computations and unfortunately hg is not installed on them. The disk-space available on the users' home directory is also quite limited and I tend to be always very close to maximum allowed. Installation of hg in my home directory is thus not a good option for me.

I use also git for other projects and using to tools with similar but different syntax is also quite confusing.

I don't care of the history is lost if this makes the conversion easier. I can also do it myself, if I get the rights to do so.

Thanks a lot,

Alex

Hi,

As mercurial's and git's repos are decentralized ones, you can easely convert your hg repo to a new git without losing informations

0 - Make sure your hg version is uptodate
1 - Clone this mercurial repo on another computer where available space is large enough
2 - Use this tool ( https://github.com/frej/fast-export) to convert
3 - Change git master origin
4 - Push your new git version to master origin.

Regards,
