Quick poll: any reason to stick with Google Code instead of moving to GitHub?


If you want mercurial or svn support then google code is an option where Github would not be.

Google Code also is more project centric. Which for some people/projects is a better fit.

Google Code's Issue tracker is better than many of the others out there in my opinion.

DISCLAIMER: I am an engineer on the team responsible for Google Code Hosting.


That's not really true. We support svn[1] and mercurial[2].

If you're moving to GitHub from Google Code, you might find this issue transfer script useful:

No.
