I currently have a project versioned using Mercurial. On my computer, there is a .hg folder in the root of my local repository.

I want to change from Mercurial to Git, so I’m wondering if removing the .hg folder is enough to remove Mercurial versioning from this folder?

If not, what can I do? (I don’t want to move the existing sources on my computer).

    yes that should work.

    mercurial stores chancesets and so on in the .hg folder, but you will lose all your projects history if you just delete the .hg folder and use git instead then.
