## 项目历史与用法

git-cinnabar is a Git remote helper for interacting with Mercurial repositories. It was created for the awkward but important boundary where developers wanted Git tooling while large projects, especially Mozilla's Gecko repositories, still used Mercurial hosting.

### 项目历史

The project is maintained by Mike Hommey under the glandium GitHub account. Its README explains the name as a reference to cinnabar, a mercury-bearing mineral, and describes the tool as a Mercurial bridge that does not keep a local Mercurial clone under the hood.

### 采用历史

git-cinnabar's ecosystem significance comes from Mozilla workflows. The README identifies mozilla-central, related Mercurial repositories, and try-server work as a major focus, and the documentation links to a Mozilla Gecko Git workflow. Package-manager records in the input also show distribution through Homebrew, Debian, Fedora, MacPorts, Nix, Arch, and related channels.

### 使用方式

Practitioners use Git commands against Mercurial repositories by cloning or fetching hg:: URLs, then use git-cinnabar commands to translate Git commits and Mercurial changesets. The tool also exposes Mercurial bookmarks, branch tips, and heads as Git refs and includes metadata validation and cleanup commands for long-lived clones.

### 为什么软件包爱好者会关心

For package users, git-cinnabar is significant because it packages a compatibility layer around two version-control histories rather than just a convenience command. It helped Git-oriented contributors work with Mercurial-hosted Mozilla repositories without abandoning standard Git commands.

### 时间线

- 0.2.x: Early public tags established the remote-helper line.
- 0.5.0: Repository metadata from versions lower than 0.5.0 required an upgrade path.
- 0.7.x: Later tags continued the Rust-backed 0.x series.

### Related projects

- The README compares git-cinnabar with older git-remote-hg and git-hg helpers and positions it around Mozilla's Mercurial repositories.
