Things have been upside down for me since my wife got very sick late last summer and eventually lost her battle with cancer in October.
Yikes, Jim, I'm really sorry to hear that!
I'm still trying to recover and have many additional responsibilities have been forced upon me leaving me with very little free time for myself. I'm not against learning something new. But it won't be a priority for me any time soon.
You're a (very) valued member of this team and one of the primary folks I want to enable and not exclude by making things more complicated than they need to be. Thanks for chiming in with your opinion.
From the responses so far, I think it seems like keeping what we've got for now is the way to go, at least in the short term. If more than one or two people are serious about using git to follow the mercurial repo, perhaps we can work something out for them without getting into the business of supporting a bridge for more SCMs than just those two.
