XEmacs repositories #7
Description
As of September 2020, bitbucket.org has lived up to their name and eradicated all of the XEmacs repositories, which were still hosted in Mercurial. I have clones of most or all of them that were probably up to date at the time this happened.
I'm not sure how much effort it would take to accurately import them into git (including fixing any references in change descriptions to commit hash ids and the like). I know that ESR spent almost a year doing this kind of detailed conversion for the GNU Emacs repository when he prepared the migration from bazaar to git. In any case, these sources ought to be preserved for posterity's sake even if the project is so dead that nobody over at xemacs.org cared enough to move them despite almost a year of warning from bitbucket that they were planning this.
I count 141 separate repositories for XEmacs. I'm pondering creating a new user or group here on github and importing them as archived repositories. What do you think?
