Let me try to get this straight.

    1. Suppose there is a mercurial repository in say sourceforge, that
       contains two named branches:, default and stable.

    2. You clone that repository with your plugin into a git repository.
       I presume the named branches end up in the corresponding git
       branches.

    3. You make two commits on default and three commit on the stable branch.

    4. You push (since you have write access), and all commits end up
       in the correct named hg branch?

    5. What happens if you create an additional git branch, say bug-fix
       and make a couple of commits and  push. Do they end up as a new
       named branch called bug-fix, or as a bookmark, or can you chose
       between both?

    6. What's about topics, do you also support these?

Well 6. is not that important, but if the workflow described in 1-5 is
true, then that would be excellent and solve quite some problems on my
side. That would be,  as the US-Americans say, awesome.

I would use your plugin to pull from a git repository and would push then to
my local hg repository.

Thanks and regards
