It's fine by me. Fact is that I don't *want* to use Mercurial but my 
surroundings are (university, lab etc) so
I'm trying to minimize the problem if I want them to adopt ryppl

As for hg-git, i didn't knwo about it, thanks for the link.

properly for me
is good.

It may be this guy we'll end up hiring for our own concern that will
have to work wiht ryppl anyway.
