Google Code, and Microsoft's CodePlex have, yes.
Oops...I mis-read your question. I thought you asked "Has any popular hosting site added mercurial support?"

This is great news, very exciting for people who need a nice place to stash all their private git repos but didn't want to upgrade their GitHub plans for not-that-important projects. Very interesting that they've decided to compete directly too. I wonder if/how GitHub will respond. I strongly prefer their UI and already have a paid plan, but I find myself shuffling repos within the confines of that plan rather than s…
BitBucket is very good from a pricing and support point of view (and I actually preferred Mercurial before I learnt Git properly) but it's not nearly as polished as GitHub - one thing that springs to mind (it might have been fixed) was it trying to show me a complete diff of Xcode project files when I clicked on a commit causing my browser to crash. Pretty much the main reason I switched.
I'd be really keen to see some real competition in the hosted social-coding space (it's funny, that sentence wouldn't have made sense just a few years ago), and Atlassian has the resources to do it.

we'll see how GH responds in the face of competition like this. Now I no longer need to go beyond the $7/month github plan. I could see GH creating an "unlimited" account for $20/month that allows up to 3mb of files and unlimited repos.

Not poster but in a similar position myself. What about incomplete projects? Messy/hacky experiments? Completely idiotic/backwards stuff done for fun? Play-projects purely attempted for "ha I did it!"? Legally-grey (or blatantly illegal) projects? Or even school projects? I have hundreds of projects that fit in those categories, and none will ever be made publicly available. Sometimes it's just not good form to make…
> incomplete projects? It depends on what you mean by "incomplete". 50 lines of code which do almost nothing useful are probably not worth publishing. But why not publishing a half-complete project? Publishing may help you find contributors. And the early feedback helps you to decide if your project is worth more intense attention. > Messy/hacky experiments?

I voted you up specifically for this bit. This is great.
What game was cloned, and what is the name of the clone?

I really love Bitbucket (over GitHub!), but it seems too late for me.

Git isn't what attracts most people to GitHub I disagree (partly). GitHub is indeed a sort of social-network for developers working on open-source projects, and this makes it really attractive. Their interface is also totally kick-ass and I love them. But for my private projects GitHub is totally useless and also expensive, which is why I have been hosting my own Git repo on an instance that I own - it's pretty easy…
> But for my private projects GitHub is totally useless and also expensive, which is why I have been hosting my own Git repo on an instance that I own - it's pretty easy to setup too. Ditto. There's a number of projects that I just won't put online because I'd rather lose than share them. With Bitbucket it looks like I'll be able to stash them privately, for free. I'm totally psyched that Bitbucket has given this goo…

Some other examples:
1. You want to keep track of your dotfiles that you use at work. In general, this may be ok to put public, but it may contain work-specific stuff (hostnames, configurations, etc) that might get you in trouble for publishing publicly. For example, my work shell config has aliases that include connection information (sans password) to internal databases.
2. Resumes and/or cover letters. If you update your resume to say that you're looking for work, or looking for work in another area, this could give info to your current employer that you don't want to hand out. You might also want to keep your cover letters in version control if you use something like LaTeX or have specfic parts that you want to be boilerplate (e.g. description of yourself and/or your exerience). If you keep this in public, then everyone knows when/where you are applying for work, which may not be desirable even if your employer doesn't care.
