promising items in the latest todo.txt

Vim 7.3:
+- Include all files in distro, no "extra" and "lang" package.
+- Create Mercurial repository.
You took pleasure in using a VCS, Bram? That's great! Does this also
mean, the latest runtime files won't be published separately anymore?
This would be another improvement.
I hope you can preserve the history when importing.

Still no idea when I have time to make a 7.3 release, but I suppose it's
about time.

That's a nice Christmas present :-)
Will the repository be hosted on code.google.com or do you plan to setup
Mercurial on vim.org?

SourceForge does provide Mercurial repositories. code.google.com only
allows a small set of open source licenses, and Vim's isn't among them.

Do either support tracking branches and similar stuff in a simple way?
I mean, it would be sweet if Bram could track and pull from
repository where I would be maintaining all the runtime files that I
maintain (177). Github makes this very easy and explicit. I’m not
going to push choosing Git over Mercurial, but I really want to have a
say in this and I want this stuff to be as simple as possible. The
current set-up, where I basically check out a Git mirror of the
Subversion repository, edit files, and then send them whole to Bram is
not very engaging.

discusses tracking branches related in mercurial

That’s not what I asked.

To clarify:
Does Google Code or SourceForge provide convenient interfaces for
dealing with this kind of collaborative development, similar to how
Github does it for Git?

Google Code allows you to create a server side clone of mercurial
repositories. I'm almost certain that SourceForge doesn't have any
support for server side forking. BitBucket has support for creating
server side forks and patch queues.

You can send Bram a bundle of your changes, see 'bundle' command at:
http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/hg.1.html#bundle
For example using the command:
hg bundle nikolai.hg http://vim.hg.sourceforge.net/hgweb/vim/vim
The 'nikolai.hg' bundle file includes all the changesets not in Bram
sourceforge repository. Assuming all your changes are in a branch,
Bram may unbundle the 'nikolai.hg' file into his repository (or
another working clone) and merge your branch into his code.
