	ok, so there is another snag i've just found out.  The new dulwich code which hg-git relies on requires mmap -- which we do not provide in ape currently.  I'm new to plan9; but am not afraid to code up things that are useful.  I do need to know what the best idea is for how to resolve this...seems I can write an mmap for ape (which might be a huge pain) or we can run it on linuxemu (which i really don't want to do).  And, of course, there is just eliminating git repositories.  It posts to the git repo; however, when it starts to handle the pack or object it just freaks out because thats all in the dulwich code dealing with things like...

mmap.mmap(f.fileno(), size, access=mmap.ACCESS_READ)

and seeing as we have no mmap in ape the mmap module in python 2.5 has been diligently ommitted....

sorry if i got someone elses (other than my own) hopes up.  She works just fine for hg though...

Congratulations! I'm interested in giving it a shot; is it just a
tarball to compile, or is it a package for fgb's contrib(1)? I'll
throw it on sources for you if you don't have an alternate hosting
solution while you wait for your contrib.

Russ, thanks for the clue -- i have this packaged up now (my first package but doesn't seem like rocket science.  Please let me know if you are interested.  Also to be honest 98% of this was Filipe and FGB i just put a few pieces together to get 1.3 and git working nicely together.
