I've looked at many hg<->git tools and none satisfy me. Too complicated, or too slow, or to difficult to setup, etc.

The only one I've liked so far is hg-fast-export[1], which is indeed fast, relatively simple, and relatively easy to use. But it's not properly maintained any more.

So, I decided to write my own from scratch, using hg-fast-export as inspiration, and voila.

This one doesn't have any dependencies, just put it into your $PATH, and you can clone and fetch hg repositories. More importantly to me; the code is simple, and easy to maintain.

One important remote-hg alternative is the one written by Sverre Rabbelier that is now maintained and distributed in msysgit, however, in my opinion the code is bloated, and there isn't even a standalone branch to take a look at the patches, and give them a try.

This version has some features that Sverre's version doesn't:
 * Support for tags
 * Support to specify branchesto pull
Sverre's version has some features this one doesn't:
 * Support for pushing
 * Tests
[1] http://repo.or.cz/w/fast-export.git
Changes since v1:
 * Improved documentation
 * Use more common 'python' binary
 * Warn, don't barf when a branch has multiple heads
 * Fixed marks to fetch after cloned
 * Support for cloning/pulling remote repositories
 * Use a more appropriate internal directory (e.g. .git/hg/origin)
 * Fixes for python3
