Ok, I settled it. The problem is that the repository 
https://git.code.sf.net/p/matlab-emacs/src matlab-emacs-src
(or the mirror at g...@gitlab.com:kalthad/matlab-emacs-default.git)
is a strange one. It was created as CSV, then converted to git (either
directly or via mercurial, I don't recall).

Be it as it may, it is utmost import to push in the correct order (so
master/default as the last branch).
Since git does not have a native support to localize the branch base (as
we discussed), 

    1. I either followed the proposal found in
       
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1527234/finding-a-branch-point-with-git
       namely git log --all --oneline --decorate --graph --first-parent

    2. And I also cloned the repository again with hg-git, and run hg bookmarks

Both told me

So I used the command, you recommended, namely 
git remote add hg-remote hg::../mercurial-matlab-emacs-default/
git push hg-remote remotes/origin/strings:refs/heads/branches/strings

Etc etc

This works nicely, save one, alas important, detail: 

your script does not copy the git
hashed. Mercurial since quite some time supports to display the
mercurial and the git hashes. (The options for the log template are 

note for the hg hashes

gitnode for the git hashes

Here is an example, using for the repository I have cloned with the
hg-git plugin.

log  -G --template "{rev}\nChangeset: {node|short}\nCommit: {gitnode|short}

@ commit 689
│  Changeset: ee371bfe7da4b6e6cefd369dd8452c79b14a8709

And here is what git log shows for the cloned git repository

* commit b7007223bd7c99b9d92911c66411b2143a791ce4 (HEAD -> default, 
origin/default, origin/HEAD, hg-remote/branches/default)
| Author: John Ciolfi <cio...@ah-ciolfi620-l.dhcp.mathworks.com>
| Date:   Mon Apr 10 16:05:31 2023 -0400
|
|     matlab and org mode example
|

Now the mercurial repository generated by your script gives me 

@  commit 689
│  Changeset: b5ac75bb769d915d9891d6e7ef19f9ec546b67d1
│  Commit:

│  matlab and org mode example
│

So as you can see the git hashed was not copied.
So if I wished to use that repository and push via hg-git I cannot
because hg tells me that there are commits missing and when I pull, he
just pulls everything his way (that is converting git branches into
bookmarks) and so doubling the commits!

I see two solutions here

    1. Your scripts copies the git hashes. That would be simply great
       because it would allow a round trip. Unfortunately, you told me,
       that you, stopped the development.

    2. I work on the converted repository, but then pull from the git
       repository and then push the pull commits to the remote server.
       However some questions

       1. If I create a hg named branch and I pull it, will it be
          translated into a git branch.

       2. What happens if I use the evolve extensions (which hides
          certain commits), would everything pulled, or would the hidden
          be ignored (as say should be).


I will run some experiments first with a simple commit on the main
branch (now called default) but this should not be a problem.

Thanks again for this tool
