Just to clarify, I meant that I've already cloned it via git. Can I just start using sapling with it or do I need to delete the local repo and re-clone it with sapling?
You cannot just start using sl in a git repo. You need to make a Sapling clone of it.
But you can make a Sapling clone of your local git repository, so you don't have to clone from the server again and you would get all your local work from your git repo. That might be the easiest way to try Sapling, so you don't have to delete your git checkout at all.

Whoa I didn't even know you could do that in git. I always considered clone to mean "download stuff from this location" but now it makes more sense. Thanks I'll give that a try.
