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 0.3.2?

• Various bug fixes.
• Updated git to 2.11.0 for cinnabar-helper.
• Now supports bundle2 for both fetch/clone and push (https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/BundleFormat2).
• Now Supports git credential for HTTP authentication.
• Now supports git push --dry-run.
• Added a new git cinnabar fetch command to fetch a specific revision that is not necessarily a head.

• 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.
