Hi,

Git-cinnabar is a git remote helper to interact with mercurial
repositories. It allows to clone, pull and push from/to mercurial remote
repositories, using git.

This release on
https://github.com/glandium/git-cinnabar/releases/tag/0.5.0b1

  `git cinnabar download` on supported platforms or build one with `make
  helper`.

- Removed support for the .git/hgrc file for mercurial specific
  configuration.
