If you'd do it that way you would loose all your VCS history. A quick Googling 
showed this 
recipe 
"https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-and-Other-Systems-Migrating-to-Git"[1]. 
There 
is no built in method. Once that is done you may modify the project file. 
Unless you have 
configured some VCS options just change "<VcsType>Mercurial</VcsType>" to read 
"<VcsType>Git</VcsType>".

Another alternative would be to setup your own Mercurial server. That way you 
know 
exactly whom to blame.
