offbytwo/git-hg — Issue #18: I get bad date and email complaints from git
Author: knarf-se
Created: 2011-11-17 00:21:24+00:00
State: open

The offending mercurial repository is http://hg.dillo.org/dillo
I was about to mirror it here on github and add another branch with my own edits (Which for now, would only consist of another icon theme).

The terminal interaction looks somewhat like this (I may have cut out some boring parts and personal info):

$> git-hg clone http://hg.dillo.org/dillo dillo3
[	Enormous output that does not fit in my 1K lines of backscrolling	]

For my own sake, the Dillo git-mirror thing was not too important. I just thought I could use your script while I'm editing the Icons for Dillo anyway (I have not even compiled it yet, I wanted nicer Icons first, and Firefox is a memory sucker -- 2.7GB and counting ;) .

Otherwise, very big thanks for a nice program!
