Hi Bartosz,

Thank you for your interest in this issue.

Following the recent announcement that Mercurial support will be removed from Bitbucket Cloud on June 1, 2020, we do not plan to add support for Mercurial repositories in the VS Code extension.

To learn more about what led to this announcement, timelines, and migration resource support, read the announcement blog.

To discuss conversion tools, migration, tips, and offer troubleshooting help, visit this thread on Atlassian Community.

If any critical Mercurial issues arise over the coming months, reach out to Bitbucket support.

Thanks,
Alastair
