[Scons-dev] Trial SCons migration to git on github

[Jason Kenny]

If this is about using git. I see two options with the least amount of work.

1) User uses a git-hg plug-in to checkout with git.
or
2) Move the code in SCons to git in bitbucket. I don’t think we have a reason to do a major move to another site, when the current one works great with git as well.

Probably the most high profile Mercurial → Git switch has been the Go
project.

The core of their rationale was workflow for pull request review and
acceptance. I suspect also that Google is trying to switch all their
work to Git.

Go switched from a Google hosted Mercurial repository with Rietveld as
the review system, to a Google hosted Git repository mirrored on GitHub
with Gerrit as the review system.
