It seems to work for my little toy CSS validator project, which I wrote to public-qa-dev about recently. http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-qa-dev/2009Nov/0001.html The relevant part of the README is: Source code and Version Control ------------------------------- To access the source code and project history using git__:: $ git clone git://dvcs.w3.org/cssval __ http://git-scm.com/ Or you can use mercurial with the `Hg-Git plugin`__:: $ hg clone git://dvcs.w3.org/cssval __ http://hg-git.github.com/ This project started Oct 11 2009, with mercurial revision 0:4ac7bd6d32f2, aka git commit c6cdd1c783f30989c94b00844b1a739e88857366. Thanks to bitbucket__ for hosting the project in early stages; the cssval__ repository there may or may not be maintained. __ http://bitbucket.org/ __ http://bitbucket.org/DanC/cssval/ Likewise, an experimental github mirror, Uniform-CSS-Validator__, may or may not be maintained. __ http://github.com/dckc/Uniform-CSS-Validator -- Dan Connolly, W3C http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/ gpg D3C2 887B 0F92 6005 C541 0875 0F91 96DE 6E52 C29E
