But of course this is going to break all hg-git users' configurations. :-/ I've gone ahead with this change in hg-git 0.9.0-1, with a NEWS.Debian entry alerting users. Breaking existing configurations is unfortunate, but: 1) The breakage is a relatively harmless error message, rather than data loss or something like that; 2) The disparity with upstream causes ongoing confusion for new users (searching the web turns up a small but continuing stream of bug reports in all sorts of places); 3) hg-git has unfortunately been broken in unstable recently for long stretches of time due to incompatible upstream changes, so I'm not sure how many users of the package are even left. Restoring the upstream hgext.git extension will take a bit more planning to avoid problems with upgrades from buster, so I have not done this (yet). Finally, it occurs to me that I should have sent this mail _before_ making this change, rather than _after_; sorry about that.
