Description Matthew Miller 2015-03-09 16:43:01 UTC 
If you install the git-hg subpackage and run `git clone hg::https://code.example.com/p/someproject/`. you get:

  Cloning into 'someproject'...
  WARNING: git-remote-hg is now maintained independently. 
  WARNING: For more information visit https://github.com/felipec/git-remote-hg
  WARNING:
  WARNING: You can pick a directory on your $PATH and download it, e.g.:
  WARNING:   $ wget -O $HOME/bin/git-remote-hg \
  WARNING:     https://raw.github.com/felipec/git-remote-hg/master/git-remote-hg
  WARNING:   $ chmod +x $HOME/bin/git-remote-hg

This isn't very useful. I suggest that the git-hg subpackage be removed, and (ideally) instead a new package actually including the above be added. Thanks!

It's already solved in rawhide. Problem is that I can't remove old package git-hg from repository f20/f21. If you want use this, install package git-remote-hg which should be available since Fedora 21.

Comment 2 Matthew Miller 2015-03-09 18:45:46 UTC 
Ah, thanks. Hmmm; I see that `yum install git-hg` correctly grabs git-remote-hg, but dnf doesn't.
Comment 3 Matthew Miller 2015-03-09 18:47:04 UTC 
e.g. Bug #1096506 — I guess it's a feature. :)
Comment 4 Petr Stodulka 2015-03-09 18:50:17 UTC 
It is probably :-)
