Sorry for the late reply this time, I had to travel a bit and then had
some hard work when coming back :)

Yes, we did.

Would a restricted (git-shell) access work as well? Or do you need
direct rsync write access? Since I think git-shell would work with all
project types (unlike direct rsync write access), I would favor
it. Similar to 'cvs server'.

That documentation is much interesting. I'm indeed impressed by the
set of tools already available (personal or group (CVS-like)
repository, pserver emulator, client/server protocol, etc.)

Not trying it is not a very GNU attitude ;)
Development seems pretty much stalled anyway :/

Ok (release early... ;)).
You mentioned a lot of facts about git, but not on hg. Do you have
something to add about it?
Thanks for the info,
