Import of git, darcs, mercurial

Yes. I'll link this question to the relevant bug reports.

Hm, can't find a bug report for hg, but as the current plan is to do git via a fast-import stream, hg won't be much more work.

As it's not very clear from the bug reports, it's probably worth mentioning that this feature is on the radar, but still at least a few months away.

Hi!

Any news about importing e.g. darcs?

We are accustomed to use darcs, but would like to use LP and provide bzr branches.

Sincerely,
Gour

Importing from git and hg is in our plans, but importing from darcs is not.

I'd suggest asking the bazaar developers for ways to import from darcs to bzr, either on the email list or the #bzr irc channel.

Hi Tim,

thank you for your reply.

Is the reason for not importing from darcs of the technical nature (darcs is somewhat different beast), or due to darcs not being so widely used DVCS?

Yes, I know for several ways how to imort from darcs to bzr, but I was hoping for some kind of 'incremental' import from the LP side...

Sincerely,
Gour

Do you know of any ways to do an incremental import from darcs?

Hi Tim!

You might find the following bug interesting: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr-fastimport/+bug/232177

One option is Tailor (http://progetti.arstecnica.it/tailor) and another is darcs-fast-export
(http://vmiklos.hu/project/darcs-fast-export/)

Please, let me know if you need some more info.

Sincerely,
Gour

@TIm: If you missed it, but now darcs-fast-export is merged into bzr-fast-import which would make importing darcs repo quite easy.

Pls. check https://launchpad.net/bzr-fastimport.

Sincerely,
Gour

A feature to link to an existing repository in https://launchpad.net/nikki/trunk/+setbranch would be nice, so users can be easily guided to the actual location of the code, when import is impossible. (Darcs in this case)
