[python-committers] We will be moving to GitHub (hopefully) in2016

[Steve Dower]

I've found that hggit works very well - I used it to migrate my work project to github and still use it to avoid having to deal with git. (My intent is to keep using it for Python as well.)

Is the plan to migrate the entire history or just master?

Maybe The PSF could fund Eric Raymond to do this?  He's got
beyond-the-basics tooling, and a fair bit of experience converting
large projects.  He might even be able to clean up the older (svn)
history along the way, although that might be too much to hope for ;)

(Oh, and let me mention this while I'm thinking about it: we're going
to have to do some extra work to make the hash links work in the bug
tracker, since I don't think there's any a priori way to distinguish
between hg hashes and git hashes.)
