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
