Yes
I already pull from the hg mozilla-aurora repo and push to my hg repo.
But mercurial is slow and breaky so I'll switch to the git repo for the pulling down the original files.
I just wandered if there is a leaner repo, with perhaps just the files for translation so that I don't download the whole gigabyte repo.

we don't plan to support git repos for contributions to l10n.
Having one version control system for our localization team (or two with svn) is barrier enough, expecting folks to negotiate changes between different version control systems is really hard.
Alternatively, one could think about supporting git for some locales and hg for others, but that's really challenging for release automation, and doc and discoverability.
Also, as ehsan notes, the git mirrors are currently just that, you can consume the repo in git, but not contribute to it.
As of now, I don't see a value in offering git mirrors for l10n repositories, and there had to be more than sparse demand for it to start investing in to it, I guess.

Forgot to mention, I encourage folks to try out the git mirror for the en-US strings. git is said to be faster and smaller to pull, I'd love to hear people report back on that.
