There’s a high-fidelity hg-client-to-a-git-server bridge written by githubber
schacon that’s called hg-git<http://hg-git.github.com/>. I’ve got experience
setting it up that I’d be willing to share if there’s demand for that sort of
thing.
It takes advantage of the fact that git commits and hg changesets are just two
easily interchangeable sides of the same coin.
How high-fidelity, you may ask? In my experience, two hg users of the same git
repo can push and pull stuff and end up with the same changeset IDs on both
local repos. And to the git folks, it won’t even be apparent that you’re using
hg on your end.
(Full disclosure: I’m mainly a git guy these days, but I went through an hg
phase.)

Subject: Re: [WiX-devs] Codeplex: Updating a fork
PS: I chose hg because that was all CodePlex offered at the time and I was sick
of CVS (which was all SourceForge offered at the time). I came to really like
hg but as noted in previous message to this mailing list, I believe hg has lost
to git. CodePlex offers git now, we'll be moving to it at the least disruptive
time possible.

I can’t seem to find any means of updating a fork I have created to contain the
latest changes from the official Wix repository. If Wix was using Git instead
of HG, this would be easy. I could create a new fork, but then the project
would get flooded with forks if everyone was doing it. I could format some
patches from the official repository and apply them to mine, but I would assume
the author of the changes would get lost and it would clutter my fork with
extra commits. What is the expected procedure? Is there any special reason Wix
chose HG over Git?
Thanks,
Jacob
