Comment (by kini):

 >It depends on the python package dulwich. Since the latter got a huge
 performance improvement in its master branch, I decided to package that
 one instead of the latest stable version.

 I'm glad to hear that. hg-git was incredibly slow the last time I checked.
 Also, the repos dulwich created from the Sage library were incredibly
 wasteful (literally 20 times their optimal size). Hopefully this is fixed
 as well.

 To make one spkg depend on another you need to edit
 `$SAGE_ROOT/spkg/standard/deps` (which is actually a makefile). These will
 not become standard SPKGs, at least not immediately, since new SPKGs are
 supposed to start out as optional and then be changed to standard after a
 formal vote on sage-devel, or something.

 Anyway, I am not convinced that these are useful SPKGs since our plan for
 #13015 does not involve ever having Mercurial and Git repos in Sage
 simultaneously, so users should have no need for this...
