- 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

+ This document is meant to help familiarize developers who are used to
17

18

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!
