Git-cinnabar is a git remote helper to interact with mercurial repositories. It allows to clone, pull and push from/to mercurial remote repositories, using git.

Get it on github.

These release notes are also available on the git-cinnabar wiki.

What's new since 0.4.0b3?

• Updated git to 2.10.2 for cinnabar-helper.
• Added a new git cinnabar download command to download a helper on platforms where one is available.
• Fixed some corner cases with pack windows in the helper. This prevented cloning mozilla-central with the helper.
• Fixed bundle2 support that broke cloning from a mercurial 4.0 server in some cases.
• Fixed some corner cases involving empty files. This prevented cloning Mozilla's stylo incubator repository.
• Fixed some correctness issues in file parenting when pushing changesets pulled from one mercurial repository to another.
• Various improvements to the rules to build the helper.
• Experimental (and slow) support for pushing merges, with caveats. See issue #20 for details about the current status.

And since I realize I didn't announce beta 3:

What's new since 0.4.0b2?

• Properly handle bundle2 errors, avoiding git to believe a push happened when it didn't. (0.3.x is unaffected)
