Not to be that guy.. but github claims there's 590 commits.  hg sees a
few more...

$ hg log -T '{date}\n' | wc -l
6020

In particular, the visual branch comparison and merge tools are extremely convenient and allowed me to make quick work of a number of old branches that had nothing in them. A few branches remain with traces of ancient work that is probably irrelevant, but which I have not pruned until we can fully determine that to be the case.

As I mentioned in IRC.  Both projects are under the legal umbrella of
Instant Messaging Freedom.  There's no reason why the hosting needs to
be the same and the project is free to do as it wishes.  However, it
makes sense to shares resources when appropriate.
