But Git is not Mercurial. ;)

Whether migration to Git is on its way, I can't tell. The Fedora Wiki
feels like a labyrinth and is slow to search. Switching Fedora Package
CVS to another SCM system is a controversy for several years. Whenever
it happens, it will make a small target group happy and will be
considered a nuisance by many others (especially those who've tried to
advocate their favourite SCM system). I hope Fedora leadership will
not unleash something half-baked onto the volunteers.
