[oi-dev] Lets talk about Git

[Andrew Stormont]

I like the idea but I'm not sure how you'd go about setting something like
that up.  How would you ensure both repositories are kept in sync?  The
usual method as I understand it is to have one repository as the master and
the rest as mirrors ­ but this doesn't allow you to commit to the mirrors ­
so they're not really equal.

I recall the discussion developing along the lines of co-existence and
agnosticism between git and hg, not conversion per se.
