For a long time Firefox Desktop development has supported both Mercurial and Git users. This dual SCM requirement places a significant burden on teams which are already stretched thin in parts. We have made the decision to move Firefox development to Git.

  • We will continue to use Bugzilla, moz-phab, Phabricator, and Lando
  • Although we'll be hosting the repository on GitHub, our contribution workflow will remain unchanged and we will not be accepting Pull Requests at this time
  • We're still working through the planning stages, but we're expecting at least six months before the migration begins

Just find yourself an antiquated Microsoft aligned company and maybe you'll get to taste the bitter fruit that is TFVC. I use it daily and it's.. Different.

I miss using tfvc. Everything except for branching worked pretty well in visual studio.

Branching worked fine if you didnt have more than 2 or 3 too.

Sadly branches are pretty useful so git it is.
