So they moved from hg to git? Or is this just an official mirror

Interesting that their issues are blamed on "dual SCM", not on Mercurial itself. I guess just the weight of contributors expecting Git as the default is sinking the big Mercurial projects these days.

I tried to contribute a few years ago. The mercurial clone was taking multiple hours. They already had an non official git, which took 15 minutes to clone.
