+= General Notes =
+With the presence of git.m.o, there are now more choices than ever. Below are the practices in effect as of 2013-01-24
+In general, hg remains the repository of record for all Mozilla work processed by Release Engineering. Some exceptions are noted below.
+Until some general policies are worked out, the repos available via both repository types are restricted to those associated with FFOS (nee b2g).
+== FFOS ==
+FFOS is released via source tagging of repositories on git.m.o. This means hg repositories need to support a git view as follows:
+* Gecko code base (mercurial mozilla-* repos) for source released to partners is read-only in git.m.o/releases/gecko.git, using branches that are FFOS based, not Firefox/Fennec based (i.e. they don't ride the browser trains)
+* Gaia code base (git.m.o:release/gaia.git, with committable master repo at github:mozilla-b2g/gaia.git). HG read only mirrors of this are solely for use of the internal release engineering tooling. (No plan yet for localizers or others preferring to use hg to view gaia sources as of 2012-01-24.)
+* Localizations for FFOS. (Only the locales actively being shipped to partners are mirrored as of 2013-01-24.) Only one repo is used, with internal branches (no such branches as of 2013-01-24):
+** Gaia localizations (hg.m.o/gaia-l10n/* repos) are mirrored (read only) to git.m.o:releases/l10n/<locale>/gaia.git.
+** Gecko localizations (hg.m.o/releases/l10n/<train>/<locale>) are mirrored (read only) to git.m.o:releases/l10n/<locale>/gecko.git. ('mozilla-beta' is the only branch as of 2013-01-24)
