@andrewt it's not just a frontend - the local repo is in mercurial format. i used mercurial for the past 15 years; but since service for hg is growing scarce and undersupported, i now also use it transparently with an online git repo.
been doing so since a few years. never had to fiddle with git directly once.
only snag to take care of is to maintain a bookmark.current in the .hg folder so hg auto-updates the master/whatever-it-is-now-called tag.

@lritter I mean that sounds fine and all, but I last used Mercurial in 2012 and as you say, git documentation is markedly easier to come by these days (even if that is partly because you rely on it more) Are there decent GUIs out there that support hg?
