You can pick up a Cheesehead hat in Wisconsin, or online=E2=80=A6
Some groups I=E2=80=99ve worked with would pass the Cheesehead hat to =
the person
who checked something in that broke the nightly build.  I=E2=80=99m not =
saying
being sainted by the 9fans community wouldn=E2=80=99t be an honor, but =
the
recipient might get something more along the lines of a cheesehead hat.


Until then, you can install hg-git for your python2.7 environment on =
Plan 9:

mkdir -p $home/lib/python2.7/site-packages/docs
bind -bc $home/lib/python2.7/site-packages =
/$cputype/lib/python2.7/site-packages
bind -bc $home/lib/python2.7/site-packages =
/sys/lib/python2.7/site-packages=20

Grab dulwich (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/dulwich), I pulled the latest =
master
from github:

% unzip -f dulwich-master.zip
% cd dulwich

To accommodate a strange import error not setting has_mmap correctly, =
patch
dulwich/pack.py (this is from my hg clone version after installing):

% hg diff -g dulwich/pack.py
diff --git a/dulwich/pack.py b/dulwich/pack.py
--- a/dulwich/pack.py
+++ b/dulwich/pack.py
@@ -59,6 +59,10 @@

Install dulwich:

% python setup.py --pure install


Grab and install hg-git:

% hg clone https://bitbucket.org/durin42/hg-git
% cd hg-git
% python setup.py install


Add =E2=80=98hggit =3D=E2=80=98 to your $home/lib/hgrc [extensions].

Test it out:

% hg clone git://github.com/schacon/hg-git.git


It isn=E2=80=99t exactly fast, and there are some cases where cloning =
using https:// instead
of git:// can be an issue, but it works as a brace|cudgel|kludge until a =

git is made available for Plan 9.

Now to finish a little transmogrifier git script to trick go get...
