Hi,

Have you seen

	http://repo.or.cz/w/fast-export.git/

?

I had many problems with it, so many that I started to write my own 
hg-fast-export together with Dirkjan Ochtman, a very nice Mercurial guy 
(actually, he started writing it, and I tried to fix it, but it still does 
not work due to merge mishandling).

But then I saw that finally, they started work on it again.  It is 
somewhat sloppy, having a large part in Python and a large part in shell, 
which could have been avoided, but at least it works.

Ciao,
