This guide is geared towards prospective contributors who are accustomed to
17-
git-based development. The intention of this guide is to lower the initial
18-
barrier of entry for prospective contributors in learning a new source control
19-
tool. While there are projects that focus on automating this to allow seamless
20-
bridges between the two systems, this guide focusses solely on native Mercurial
21-
functionality. As with most tools, this is not the only method of achieving
22-
git-like workflows with Mercurial. It is intended solely to provide one
23-
potential path.

Core developers will have a similar workflow, but it will differ in the later
27-
stages (merge vs patch generation).

This document is meant to help familiarize developers who are used to
17+
a Git-based workflow with Mercurial. While most of the work for Python
18+
is now done in Git, there are a couple ancillary repositories that
19+
still use Mercurial, and thus this document exists those who wish to
20+
help with those ancillary repositories. This does mean, though, that
21+
the examples using the ``cpython`` repositories are purely for
22+
illustrative purposes and people should not use the Mercurial
23+
repository referenced in this document!
