Our source of truth is mercurial. But our (Oracle Solaris) external, read-only mirror is being moved from a mercurial repo on java.net to github. I would like for people who might have had clones of the mercurial repo to be able to use hg-git to pull from the github repo and get the same changeset IDs as they had before (and as we have internally), but that looks like it's not possible.
