Bitbucket to delete Mercurial repositories

[iacobus]

Hi,

first of all, thanks for this great software. It's come to my attention that Bitbucket is going to drop Mercurial support. Eventually, in June 2020, they would be removed and it's unclear if they will provide a direct path to migrate existing projects to Git at this point. This is the official announcement: bitbucket.org/blog/sunsetting-mercurial-support-in-bitbucket

This affects the OpenTyrian repository. If there's not a direct path provided by Atlassian, project members would have to do it themselves (gasp!).

There is still plenty of time, so let's wait and see. I hope that Atlassian won't leave their Hg users stranded and provide an easy way to keep move their projects to Git, but I can give a hand if needed to migrate things. Or it could be decided to keep Hg and move to a provider that supports it.

Let me know your thoughts. Thanks!

I'm not sure where we'll end up, but, as you said, we have a while.

Maybe Mercurial will support using git as a storage backend by then.
