I've approved this, as I can't see it does any harm, especially given
it's only going to be active for a few months. However, I don't see
what it has to do with the eventual Git transition. When we do start
using git, surely we'll be using .gitignore? Why would there be .git
directories in a Mercurial checkout?

Thanks,
