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.

Isn't mercurial abandonware? Or maybe I'm just remembering that gitlab dropped support. If it's not dead yet seems to be getting there

They had a release just a few days ago. It's definitely not abandonware.
