Follow link to FreeBSD site. Last log entry, from 6 weeks ago: "Mark the repository as being converted to Git. is the last Subversion comm..."

Follow link to the LLVM repo - dead. That's because LLVM transitioned to GitHub last year.

Follow link. Now 72% git, 23% subversion, ... and 1% are like me in using Mercurial. :( But where are the 23%? I haven't come across them.

Except for those that use git - https://git.apache.org/ .

Links to a 2012 blog post at atlassian.com. Atlassian, notably, dropped Mercurial support a couple of year ago, causing me to find other hosting for my repos.
