  "github_readme_excerpt": "`git-remote-hg` is the semi-official Mercurial bridge from the Git project, once\ninstalled, it allows you to clone, fetch and push to and from Mercurial\nrepositories as if they were Git ones:\n\n--------------------------------------\ngit clone \"hg::http://selenic.com/repo/hello\"\n--------------------------------------\n\nTo enable this, simply add the `git-remote-hg` script anywhere in your `$PATH`:\n\n--------------------------------------\ncurl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/felipec/git-remote-hg/master/git-remote-hg -o ~/bin/git-remote-hg\nchmod +x ~/bin/git-remote-hg\n--------------------------------------\n\nThat\u0027s it :)\n\nObviously you will need Mercurial installed.\n\n== Configuration ==\n\nIf you want to see Mercurial revisions as Git commit notes:\n\n--------------------------------------\n% git config core.notesRef refs/notes/hg\n--------------------------------------\n\nIf you are not interested in Mercurial permanent and global branches (aka.\ncommit labels):\n\n--------------------------------------\n% git config --global remote-hg.track-branches false\n--------------------------------------\n\nWith this configuration, the \u0027branches/foo\u0027 refs won\u0027t appear.\n\nIf you want the equivalent of `hg clone --insecure`:\n\n--------------------------------------\n% git config --global remote-hg.insecure true\n--------------------------------------\n\nIf you want `git-remote-hg` to be compatible with `hg-git`, and generate exactly\nthe same commits:\n\n--------------------------------------\n% git config --global remote-hg.hg-git-compat true\n--------------------------------------\n\n== Notes ==\n\nRemember to run `git gc --aggressive` after cloning a repository, especially if\nit\u0027s a big one. Otherwise lots of space will be wasted.\n\nThe newest supported version of Mercurial is 6.2, the oldest one is 4.0.\n\n=== Pushing branches ===\n\nTo push a branch, you need to use the \u0027branches/\u0027 prefix:\n\n--------------------------------------\n% git checkout branches/next\n# do stuff\n% git push origin branches/next\n---------",
