can make a hg repo as git submodule?

note.md

Idea

• clone a mbed^TM repository as mercurial repo
• put the cloned repo to github(or similar) as a git repo with mbed repo revision status history
• another git repo uses the converted github repo as a submodule

Hints

• fast-export
  • seems best, but one direction convert?
• cosmin/hg-git
  • clones mercurial repo as git repo, uses fast-export, but has issue
    • I faced the same problem also(automatically aborts)
    • not tested what happens to mbed repo with this issue
• glandium/git-cinnabar
  • seems to have forward/backward converters
  • not tested
• felipec/git-remote-hg
  • most likely this is the official helper from git project

Requirement

• python 2.7 and mercurial

Now working

get git-remote-hg

• $ sudo apt-get install git-remote-hg
• Ubuntu 16.04 has a package

Clone and commit

$ git clone hg::https://k4zuki:<password>@developer.mbed.org/users/k4zuki/code/AkiSpiLcd/
$ cd AkiSpiLcd
$ touch README.md
$ git add README.md
$ git commit -m"add README.md"

Try a push back to mbed repository

$ git push

searching for changes
no changes found

remote: added 1 changesets with 1 changes to 1 files
To hg::https://k4zuki:********@developer.mbed.org/users/k4zuki/code/AkiSpiLcd/
   b7cc2d6..3b430ff  master -> master

Add github remote, and push to it

$ git remote add github [email protected]:K4zuki/AkiSpiLcd.git

if you have made non-blank repo, pull first

$ git pull github master
*** merge commit editor appears; edit if necessary, and save-close ***

then push both remotes

$ git push origin master
$ git push github master

Using git-hg

But this is really complicated way.
I think mbed repository should be managed in git too.

A simplest way is pull and push manually :)

Thanks!!
It seems moved to https://github.com/cosmin/git-hg

git-hg is broken for me due to this issue. I used git-remote-hg instead and it seemed to work.
