It's in an unsatisfying state, I agree. We have a great remote helper
infrastructure, but neither git-svn nor git-cvsimport/export use it, and
remote-hg is not in git.git.

git-svn used to be our killer feature! (It's becoming hard to maintain,
though.)

git-hg (in the shape of a remote helper) could be our next killer
feature, finally leading to our world domination ;)

Well, it still has hg as a dependency. All our remote
integration/helpers suffer from that. At least, every hg install comes
with the modules, whereas svn is a beast (apr and such) that often comes
without the language bindings.

That diffstat looks great (sans tests, of course; it's contrib), but
there's no push functionality, and that is usually the most difficult
part all helpers have to implement: Not only the push interaction, but
also making sure that commits don't get duped in a roundtrip (git fetch
from vcs, push to vcs, git fetch from vcs).

Just cloning and fetching can be done most easily with a shared worktree
and scripting around "hg up" and "git commit -A" in some flavour.

While we don't have to code for py3, avoiding '>>' will help us later.
(It got removed in py3.) sys.sdterr.write() should be most portable.

Is this always relative? Just wondering, dunno.

Is there a reason to spell this out, e.g.: Why not

return hg.repository(myui, path)

We have to deal with this at some point... Do you support "hg
bookmarks"? They'd be an option, or we implement better detached head
handling in git...

Those lines set up the list just so that you iterate over it later.
Please don't do this (unless you know that revs is very small).

for rev in revs:
  if cache.get(rev, False):
    continue

is more performant. You can reduce this further to

count=0
for rev in repo.revs('%u:%u' % (tip, head)):
  if cache.get(rev, False):
    continue

which is even more performant generally, and especially if repo.revs()
returns an iterator rather than a list.

[Yes, you could use lambda+filter, but let's not get religious. The
above is simple and pythonic.]

Same here, you introduce c just for the next line (unless I'm mistaken).

What is this +1 offset that is appearing here and there?

I'm a bit confused here. repo.brancheads() is a list, no? Is this the
single head case only? I'd expect [0] of that, but you seem to be
getting branch names (strings).

Also, if len(heads) == 0 then branches[branch] is undefined or stale. No?

Overall, this looks like plain scripting in python rather than anything
oo'ish, but that's okay and probably dictated by the remote helper
interface and/or the existing exporter.

I'm all for an improvement in that area, but still feel we'd need a
combined effort rather than yet another start.
