How do I convert a git repository to mercurial?

Question

I\'ve been developing a java application using git as source code repository. I\'d like to share the project with other java developers and hg seems to be most used by them.

Answer 1

The hg convert utility isn't on by default after installation. In order to set it as such add the following to your .hgrc file.

[extensions]
hgext.convert=

If you're using TortoiseHg on Windows then this file resides in your home directory as mercurial.ini. After this setting change you will be able to use the hg convert utility.
