#115 Inability to clone repository
Currently it's not possible to clone the Mercurial repo using http; it times out. This is a known SourceForge problem; see: https://sourceforge.net/p/forge/site-support/16458/
The workaround mentioned on that issue of cloning using SSH works, but it requires that you have a SourceForge account (I think!):
hg clone ssh://USER@hg.code.sf.net/p/dblatex/dblatex
Is there a recommended git mirror to use ?
I maintain(ed) a hggit mirror at https://github.com/mjg/dblatex-hg from the time of the py3 porting. It is not official by any means.
Note that the hg repo here was forked for the py3 version but really is a direct continuation of the old tip, without the old tip moving. That's why you see only that branch moving in the hggit mirror, including what is now dblatex-py3.
In addition, my own (py3 porting) work is in a separate git repo. Back then it seemd a good idea to name it dblatex-py3, but now it could be misunderstood to be a mirror of the py3-fork here... I'll rename it once GitHub API is back up.
