I wonder Chris if you know anything about this [yeah a bit of a hijack]:

There is this git plugin https://github.com/felipec/git-remote-hg
that allows one to bi-direct talk to hg

I tried to add a little better error checking so that it doesnt barf with a backtrace when connecting to git (instead of hg which is the intent):

My modifs: https://github.com/rusimody/git-remote-hg/commit/51cc665eff174e0d6bbf2e1b61ca332af345e76a

I got some response (from github) to the effect that travis-continuous failed 
or some such.
Yeah I know about nothing about github pull requests but it just could be
this -- obsolete except syntax.

Any thoughts? Suggestions?
