Mercurial. I don't mind using several different systems for the 
management side -- it would be good if HepForge could allow bug report 
submissions without login, but we don't need to use the same tracker for 
planning. But I do want to keep the hosting on HepForge.

I'm not convinced that pull requests etc. add much value for Rivet: we 
have ~never received external patches (more's the pity). Essentially 
we're using Mercurial in "a nicer SVN" mode... which is a 
characterisation Frank S will disagree with ;-) I think that is a good 
balance of complexity/convenience for Rivet devs at the moment.

I didn't know how that board would be seen by non-members -- it is 
private at the moment -- but hoped that it would say "private board, 
enter your details to request membership". Sounds like it isn't that 
helpful. I can make it public, since there's nothing controversial about 
it, but sounds like it's best for everyone to send me your Trello login 
(if you have one) and I'll add you to the board.
