Hi
               I am trying to convert a hg repo to git using HG fast export.
It is a fairly large repository with 4000 + commits. The problem is that the
repo has a few parentless children. hg-fast-export throws an error while
trying to convert the repo. 
I am able to proceed with conversion using --force option. Although, I am
not sure how well the conversion happened. 

I couldn't find a mailing list for hg-fast-export so I am posting this question here hoping to find somebody who ran into a similar problem. Attached to the post is the error I saw.

*venkat@venkat-0358:/usr/src/gitrepo$ hg-fast-export -r
