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.

Code on https://github.com/glandium/git-cinnabar
This release on
https://github.com/glandium/git-cinnabar/releases/tag/0.5.0b2

What's new since 0.5.0 beta 1?

- Enabled support for clonebundles (https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/ClonebundlesExtension) for faster clones when the server provides them.
- Git packs created by git-cinnabar are now smaller.
- Added a new `git cinnabar upgrade` command to handle metadata
  upgrade separately from `fsck`.
- Metadata upgrade is now significantly faster.
- `git cinnabar fsck` also faster.
- Both now also use significantly less memory.
- Updated git to 2.13.1 for git-cinnabar-helper.

Mike
