I should point out that I am in no way responsible for the migration. I think Dirkjan and Brett said they would tackle this after the 2.7 release. But they'd better answer by themselves :) I'm willing to help out if needed. Can't hurt to have another set of hands :) I'm sure there are others in the Mercurial/Python community that would be willing to help too!

Take a look at

http://hg.python.org/pymigr/

What I think is missing is all the hook scripts (but you would need to check with Dirkjan whether they are already somewhere).

In theory, I would expect that you can run this migration suite yourself, and get a working installation - but I never tried myself.

See also PEP 385, which is the master plan. I'm not sure whether the approach to branches has been approved (or who could really approve it); I just notice that the current conversion produces a ridiculously large repository (which fails to download with older versions of hg because of size).

On the meta level, what seems to be missing as well is a clear view on what the status is - so if you manage to get it working somehow, don't forget to post what you think the status is.

Regards, Martin
