exchange: check for remote refs to determine if we're cloning The exchange.pull wrapper function was checking whether any paths were configured yet as a proxy to determine whether we're doing the initial clone or a subsequent pull. Core hg @ bdae51a83dfb (released in 4.5) now sets the 'default' path on the ui object before exchange.pull is called, but we can check a bit more directly by checking if we have any remote refs yet. This is the same as a check we do in GitHandler.fetch_pack().

GENERAL
=======
* work fine with eclipse plugin or tortoise-hg

MAPPING ISSUES
==============
* work in Git on a named branch created in Hg is forward-ported to be named branch commits in Hg and stripped back out if re-exported


REMOTE/BRANCH STUFF
===================
* explain what branch mapping policy determined when updating refs
* error nicer if pushing to remote without push access (over git://)

WEBSITE
===========
* more usage documentation
* screencast


SPEED/EFFICIENCY
================
* dulwich improvements
  - don't send blobs/trees already on server
  - thin packs
  - packfile creation benchmarking (seems to take a while sometimes)
  - at least provide status output

MAYBE
==========
* submodules?
* .gitignore, etc - try to convert?
  - (probably not automatically, but perhaps a generator?)
