Hello,

Before moving anything do some hg configuration, such as enabling the eol extension (http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/EolExtension). There is a PEP on the Python migration: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0385.

From reading about the eol extension... it seems one issue with the eol extension is that everyone needs to enable it otherwise it doesn't work correctly. Is that correct? I don't remember any other project using this extension. Maybe we don't really need it. It seems python uses a hook to reject commits with wrong line endings based on the eol extension. Maybe we can have one of these hooks in place.

* what to do with branches, and trunk?

Most branches are closed. I just merged msvc64 back into trunk. It has be removed. The msi, testtools, and trackmod branches can be omitted as well.

ok, cool. I can't figure out how to omit branches with the _hg convert_ extension so far. I'm sure there's some way to prune things though.

Here's the pruning dead branches docs.
http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/PruningDeadBranches

Maybe the _hg strip_ command is what we're looking for. If want want to wipe them and their history.

* instead of a trunk the root should be the trunk.

I think the trunk would become the tip. We may have to rethink how we commit changes. I admit I have used the Pygame SVN repository branches as an off site backup system while making changes. I don't know what the equivalent is with hg, if any. Maybe patches posted to the issue tracker can serve the purpose.
