Sunsetting Mercurial Support in Bitbucket

I've been using Mercurial and git for a long time and I have to say git's workflow is a lot better. Mainly Mercurial doesn't let me pull or do other stuff with outstanding changes, for no apparent reason other than that the author wanted it that way.

Mercurial lets you pull and even update with outstanding changes.

This is one of my biggest pain points with hg vs git: Git is actually the one that flat-out prevents me from rebasing most of the time, usually for the most spurious of reasons, whereas hg just lets me choose to auto-rebase most files and pick the ones I'm interested in to manually merge.

And makes a mess of conflicts. I would rather not be able to do those things than to fix a conflict of a head with the working files on HG.

Not sure what that means?

It just doesn't let me do things with changes in the working copy sometimes where git does. It's really annoying.
