The two sets of repositories use different conversion tools and rules. They have nothing in common (different changeset IDs, different metadata, different branch/clone layout).
I'd love to see a more detailed description of this, including why someone new to Mercurial would choose one over the other.
This information really belongs in www.python.org/dev/ rather than only in the mailing list.
I'm not sure. Contributors don't really have to know about the specifics of the temporary repositories used for conversion tests. www.python.org/dev/ already points to the stable, up-to-date mirrors; I don't think it's worth complicating that page. Regards Antoine.
