Hello list.
A simple question: is there a git mirror of the Galaxy repositories? If not, what do git users here do to work with the Galaxy code base?
Thanks,
I don't think there is an official git mirror, but even if there was it wouldn't help for pushing changes or suggestion into Galaxy.
Speaking as a git user who only has to use hg for Galaxy, I just learnt enough hg to get the basics done, and frequently consult resources like this: http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/GitConcepts#Command_equivalence_table

Similarly, I'm also a git user who's faced with the prospect of using Mercurial only for Galaxy. Sure, the two tools work in similar ways, but it's still something I'd rather avoid for a number of reasons.
I noticed that BitBucket is now offering both mercurial and git access. Maybe there's an easy way projects can offer access to their repositories through both tools?
A solution I'm trying at the moment is git-hg (https://github.com/cosmin/git-hg). Seems to work...I've managed to clone the galaxy-dist repository as a local git repository.
