Mercurial is not good enough

I started learning some Mercurial for interacting with the LDC repository, but I disliked it instantly. Sure, it's great when you come from SVN, but it's just too limited if you come from GIT (I can't live anymore without git rebase -i).

Fortunately there is fast-export. With it I can incrementally import the Mercurial repository in a GIT repository as easy as:

hg clone http://hg.dsource.org/projects/ldc ldc-hg
mkdir ldc
cd ldc
git init
hg-fast-export.sh -r my_local_hg_repo_clone

I'm very happy to be at home again =)
