Sadly, googlecode is shutting down and we needed to find a new home for Crack.

I've been a long time fan of Mercurial (I think I was using it before git
existed) but I seem to be alone in that. The rest of the major Crack
contributors all prefer git. There's also a huge community that's developed
around github. So, given that our current project hosting is going away, this
seemed to be a good time to convert entirely to git and relocate to github.

In truth, I've been running the project out of git for over two months now. I
migrate changes to the mercurial repo on googlecode whenever I push, and I
expect I will continue to do so for the foreseeable future, but the repository
in github (crack-lang/crack) should now be regarded as canonical. Patches to
the codebase should be sent as pull requests or as git patches generated by
"format-patch". We will no longer accept requests to pull from a mercurial
repository.

Hopefully we'll get around to replacing our home page before googlecode
disappears entirely.

The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy.
All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the
pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works
the same way in any country. - Hermann Goering (Hitler's right-hand man)

Yeah, there's a whole git industrial complex...
I much prefer Mercurial too, or actually Monotone ;-)

Good luck with the migration!

Ah, then my statement about "the rest of the major Crack contributors" was
incorrect :-), apologies, for some reason I thought you were also a git fan.

"We are not safe," said Ariel Cohen, a counterterrorism expert with the
Heritage Foundation, a Washington think tank. "Our commuter transit systems do
not have metal detectors, bag searches, random body searches. Our level of
vigilance is nowhere near that of Israel, and Israeli buses have been hit
again and again." --> Good idea! Let's do what doesn't work for Israel!!
