Description: A set of scripts for checking out and tracking a mercurial project from git. Push supported added as well although it is still experimental.

Mercurial (hg) and python must be installed and in your $PATH.
On Windows, you will also need a copy of Mercurial for Python, available at the Mercurial downloads page
If this is a fresh checkout run
$ git submodule update --init
to pull in fast-export. If for some reason you cannot do this get a copy of fast-export from http://repo.or.cz/w/fast-export.git and place it in the root of the checkout.
Either add /path/to/this/checkout/bin to your $PATH, or symbolic link
/path/to/this/checkout/bin/git-hg into a directory on your $PATH.
Alternatively you can execute
$ make
$ sudo make install
to install the script and all required fast-export files in /usr/local (you
can change the destination by passing eg PREFIX=/usr to both make
invocations)
