This is lovely mantra, but do you speak from your own experience? I did move rope from Bitbucket to https://github.com/python-rope and it was A LOT of work (particularly issues, existing pull requests, and other related stuff like many websites the projects holds).

He did say "DVCS content" (as in: stuff that's stored in git or hg), not ancillary data such as pull requests, issues, wikis and Web sites.

But you're making his point: migrating a source code repository from hg to git or vice-versa is relatively easy, it's the surrounding stuff that's hard.

Antoine.
