Hello,
i finished experimenting with converting the pypy repo to git using the
gitifyhg git remote
the basic result being
heisenbug ~/P/p/pypy-git> du -sh .git/{hg,objects}
742M .git/hg
134M .git/objects
which is quite a reduction
i did not yet investigate eventually missing metadata and the details
about branch history
the number of active branches seems to fit
heisenbug ~/P/p/pypy-git> git branch -a|wc -l
203
and
heisenbug ~/P/p/pypy> hg branches|wc -l
201
the 2 additial branches in git are due to remote tracking and head
tracking which is not necessary/possible in mercurial.
