Add hg-to-git conversion utility.
hg-to-git.py is able to convert a Mercurial repository into a git one, and preserves the branches in the process (unlike tailor) hg-to-git.py can probably be greatly improved (it's a rather crude combination of shell and python) but it does already work quite well for me. Features: - supports incremental conversion (for keeping a git repo in sync with a hg one) - supports hg branches - converts hg tags Signed-off-by: Stelian Pop <stelian@popies.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
