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.<\/p>\n
Get it on github<\/a>.<\/p>\n Not much, but this felt important enough to warrant a release, even though the issue has been there since before 0.1.0:<\/p>\n Mercurial can be slower when cloning or pulling a list of \"heads\" that contain non-topological heads. On repositories like the mercurial repository<\/a>, it's not so much of a big deal, taking 7s instead of 4s. But on big repositories like mozilla-central<\/a>, it's taking 23 minutes instead of 2 minutes and 20s (on my machine). And that's with 100% CPU use on the server side.<\/p>\n The problem is that mozilla-central recently merged some old closed heads, such that it now has branch heads that aren't topological heads. Git-cinnabar, until this release, would request those branch heads, leading the server to use the slow path mentioned above. This release works around the issue.<\/p>\n It also fixes an issue pushing to a remote empty mercurial repository.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Git-cinnabar is a git remote helper to interact with mercurial repositories.
