Support for mercurial repositories

[arthurzenika]

It would be great to be able to point to a mercurial repository as well as the existing git repository functionality.

https://www.mercurial-scm.org/

This would greatly ease the use of https://heptapod.net/ (which is a gitlab friendly fork with mercurial support) with gaia.

Hi @arthurlogilab!

Thank you for the issue! It's definitely on the list to add more scms. :)

Right now though the focus is getting Gaia production ready. There are a couple of things that need to be done in order for that to happen. And once it's ready, I would say we can start investigating things like scms.

But on the list for sure of things to add. :)

Glad to hear this. If we end up using gaia we might contribute or help shape the path to mercurial support.
