Heptapod is a friendly fork of GitLab and is being built by Octobus ❤

From the presentation at Mercurial Conference 2019 in Paris (https://slides.racinet.fr/2019/hg-paris/generated/#/step-5):

What is Heptapod ? Heptapod = GitLab CE + Mercurial A friendly fork

Excellent relationship with GitLab

Featuring modern Mercurial workflows: evolve, topic One should never have to force-push

There is no current plan to add Mercurial support to GitLab, but we are providing support to the Octobus team where needed as they work on Heptapod.

Description

Can't host projects using mercurial. I find mercurial orders of magnitudes more friendly than git, for example I can remember the commands!

Proposal

Add mercurial as an option for the CVS
