Sourcehut Welcomes Bitbucket Refugees
Earlier this week, Bitbucket announced its plan for killing Mercurial support by next year.
This doesn’t come as a shock to anybody who has been a Bitbucket/Mercurial user, since Atlassian’s investment in Mercurial had been declining for the past few years. So I think their reasons for taking this decision are a bit ironic in addition to being shortsighted:
Building quality features requires intense focus, and supporting two version control systems means splitting focus – doubling shipping time and technical overhead.
