Hi,

Does the bug tracker will continue to support rXXXXX links after the migration to Mercurial? Yes. They will link to http://hg.python.org/lookup/rXXXXX, which uses the conversion metadata to find the correct hg revision. The syntax for changeset hash links from now on is [hash], e.g. [1a1ed76a6ae2]. Is it really necessary to have the square brackets? ISTM that the syntax of the short or long hash is unambiguous enough.

It's not really needed; but since it works with 6+ hex digits there might be false positives.

Also, since the hashes can look deceptively like words to the eye I find that they read better when marked clearly.

But of course this is not set in stone yet.

Georg
