Mercurial extension for importing a git fast-import stream.

hg-fastimport

WARNING: this extension is incomplete and lightly tested. It is currently intended for Mercurial developers or particularly daring users.

hg-fastimport is a Mercurial extension for importing Git’s fast-import dumps into Mercurial. fast-import is a file format for representing the entire history of a version control repository.

This file format was designed to make it easier to write tools which convert from foreign (non-Git) VCS repository formats into Git; such tools exist for CVS, Mercurial, Darcs, and Perforce.
