-Why does the project use Mercurial and not git?

- -

-The Go project, hosted by Google Code at -code.google.com/p/go, -uses Mercurial as its version control system. -When the project launched, -Google Code supported only Subversion and Mercurial. -Mercurial was a better choice because of its plugin mechanism -that allowed us to create the "codereview" plugin to connect -the project to the excellent code review tools at -codereview.appspot.com. -

- -

-Programmers who work -with the Go project's source rather than release downloads sometimes -ask for the project to switch to git. -That would be possible, but it would be a lot of work and -would also require reimplementing the codereview plugin. -Given that Mercurial works today, with code review support, -combined with the Go project's mostly linear, non-branching use of -version control, a switch to git doesn't seem worthwhile. -
