If you’ve been following this blog, you know I’ve been working on a git remote helper that gives access to mercurial repositories, named git-cinnabar. So far, it has been using libraries from mercurial itself in order to talk to local or remote repositories.

That is, until today. The current master branch now has experimental support for direct access to remote mercurial repositories, without mercurial.
