Use mercurial instead of subversion #405

Is it possible to switch over to a DVCS system (hg I guess) so it is easier to 
fork/patch/send back the changes?

Most of the GWT team uses git + svn in some form to do this.

I tried to do exactly this but git-svn doesn't really work well with svn 
externals and also (as far as I know) google code doesn't support git yet, only 
hg.

I use git on top of an svn checkout.  the master git branch is the pristine 
copy from svn.  I make git branches to capture my unmerged work.   We use 
rietveld to review our code and the upload.py script will create reviews 
against the SVN master for you if work like this and use use the --vcs=git flag.

Will check it out, thanks. One question though, when you say git over svn you 
mean svn co [...] and then git init or git svn clone [...]. If the second is 
the case (as is usually with git<->svn repos) how do you handle the svn 
externals?
