Is there a Git command to import a hg repository

Question

With git svn clone I can work on a subversion repository using git. Is there a similar way to work on Mercurial (hg) repositories?

There isn't anything built in.

You can use git-hg however, which I use a lot and works great for pulling hg repos and updates to a git repo, but the downside of it is that you cannot push updates made to your git repo to a hg repo with git-hg.

Thanks for that answer. Only pulling will probably work for me, since I was just interested in looking at source code for Mockito (which is in Mercurial)

This answer is out of date. A bridge is now integrated in Git, and works fine

@CharlesB +1 and thanks for this hint. It comes with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Debian wheezy-backports these days, but is not active by default. Look into /usr/share/doc/git/contrib/remote-helpers/ for the scripts to copy them somewhere into $PATH

The Mercurial extension hg-git is another way to go in the Hg->Git direction. If you just want to go in that direction, so far as I can see, it and git-hg both work well. More details here.

What does this answer add beyond erikvold's answer? A comment would suffice for a link.

If it was the other case, I mean if you need a git->hg conversion you can use mercurial's Convert extension. But for your question git-hg should do fine.

Wrong question. Check the timestamp of mine and erikvold's answer.

My mistake! Unfortunately, I can't change it now.
