1 GitHug, the Hg-Git Plugin
2 =========================
3
4 This plugin is designed to allow you to push to a Git server over the Git
5 protocol and to pull from a Git based project. All data is stored in Hg
6 native format with a mapping table. People collaborating in Git should not
7 even be able to tell that you're using Hg to collaborate on their project.
8 Nothing should be kept in the Git format except perhaps for caching.

23 - connects to server (upload-pack)
24 - gets a list of server shas
25 - sees what it does not have (maps all unmapped shas, checks list)
26 - requests needed shas
27 - fetches packfile
28 - explodes
29 - converts parent linages to hg changesets
30 - updates local parents

32 * Pushing to a Git Repository *
33

35 - maps all unmapped shas
36 - connects to server
