That is not my experience. Far from it. But I don't want to start a
flame war over such a smooth point given the pyrex codesize :-).

If Greg doesn't use mercurial/git already, we have a problem.

The first step would be Greg to decide by himself if he wants to share
his own code before releases. Accepting contributor patches is not an
option by now, for Greg own mental health :-), I guess.

That said, Greg could ask for advice about a revision control system, if
he has no already a clear mind about which to use.

PS: I never used GIT, but I find no objections to mercurial performance:

"""

That is a 500MB codesize. In python!.
