Here is what I do
* Step by step
1) git clone g...@gitlab.com:kalthad/matlab-emacs-default.git
2) mkdir mercurial-emacs-default
3) cd mercurial-emacs-default
4) hg init
5) cd ../matlab-emacs-default
6) git remote add hg-remote hg::../mercurial-matlab-emacs-default/
7) git for-each-ref --format='git switch %(refname:lstrip=3)'
refs/remotes/origin
8) git config remote.hg-remote.push 'refs/heads/*:refs/heads/branches/*'
9) git branch -a
10) git push hg-remote default (works)
11) git push hg-remote remotes/origin/modernize:modernize
#+begin_src
error: The destination you provided is not a full refname (i.e.,
starting with "refs/"). We tried to guess what you meant by:
- Looking for a ref that matches 'modernize' on the remote side.
- Checking if the <src> being pushed ('refs/remotes/origin/modernize')
is a ref in "refs/{heads,tags}/". If so we add a corresponding
refs/{heads,tags}/ prefix on the remote side.
Neither worked, so we gave up. You must fully qualify the ref.
hint: The <src> part of the refspec is a commit object.
hint: Did you mean to create a new branch by pushing to
hint: 'refs/remotes/origin/modernize:refs/heads/modernize'?
error: failed to push some refs to
'hg::/home/oub/Push-test/mercurial-matlab-emacs-default'
