Any chance to have mercurial ?

I'm thinking of switching from git to mercurial, do you plan to add support for mercurial based projects?

Thanks

I think right now the only place where git is actually required is for determining the version of locally cloned packages using the git branch/tag name. Support for hg would be simple to add there I guess, I've added a ticket on github: #234.

For public repositories it's more a question of the hosting service. Currently GitHub and Bitbucket are supported, and Bitbucket supports hg repositories and of course hg can also sync with git repositories, so there's no real git dependency on that side.
