automate is definitely enough for hg2mtn...

I started such an effort, but considered it not worth it, as
fast-import reveals too many of the details in git's design that
differ from monotone. I particularily had issues with the differences
in branches, and it was seriously slowed down by keeping my own
directory tree model (as git doesn't handle directories at all).

Summary: I got better results quicker by building a direct translation
(it was hg2mtn in that case) instead of working around the differences
to get a suitable mtn-fast-import.
