4 I started learning some Mercurial_ for *interacting* with the LDC_ repository,
5 but I disliked it instantly. Sure, it's great when you come from SVN_, but it's
6 just too limited if you come from GIT_ (I can't live anymore without `git
7 rebase`__ `-i`__).

12 Fortunately there is `fast-export`_. With it I can incrementally import the
13 Mercurial_ repository in a GIT_ repository as easy as::
14
15     hg clone http://hg.dsource.org/projects/ldc ldc-hg
16     mkdir ldc
17     cd ldc
18     git init
19     hg-fast-export.sh -r my_local_hg_repo_clone
