:Is it really neccessary to support both git and mercurial? Even if I
:voted for git, I'd be just fine with using mercurial (except that I'd
:probably miss gitk). It's in any case a gross improvement over the
:current situation. Maybe those who voted for mercurial think the same
:way. Of course if it's easy to setup this cross-commit facility, then
:just do it, otherwise I don't see a huge benefit in it.

I consider the cost of supporting both to be minimal. I think it
is well worth doing. I don't think creating a cross-commit mirror
for HEAD between Git and Mercurial would be difficult. It might
take more time to create a cross-commit mirror for the release
branches as well but that is something that can be addressed once
the basic functionality is in place.
