So they're switching from using both Mercurial and Git to just Git... How did they end up using both? Was it just that each had its supporters so they just compromised and made everyone use both?

If you have a bit of time to spare, see this great article for a some history on Mozilla and version control.

This is very detailed ๐Ÿ˜† I would have appreciated going for Codeberg too. This is not so bad as used just for hosting the repo, a future migration away from GH would be a breeze.
