Hopefully this means git will be coming to google code! (one of the big reasons they rejected it in favor of hg was that git was so inefficient over http before)



It's not entirely unlikely, there is an issue open that has been reviewed and not rejected:

On a similar issue requesting darcs support (which was closed WontFix), a google engineer wrote:

I read that as meaning Git would be next in line, but they are not in any hurry to add it. Personally, I'd rather they concentrated on really making what they do support shine. You can always host the source on git(hub|orious) and add a Sources wiki page that points there.
