It's not hg, it's hg-git. I presume you want to pull from a git
repository, not from an hg repository. It should be possible to write
a script that uses git-remote-hg to clone a hg repository and then
leaves it ready for the hg-git plugin to be used on top of it.

But I don't understand your use-case. If you want to use hg, then use
hg-git, if you want to use git, then use git-remote-hg.

You can use git-remote-hg to mirror a git repository and create an hg
repository, but you need to keep using git-remote-hg to keep updating
that mirror, if you do "hg pull" it would have to be from that mirror,
not the original git repository, as that would use hg-git, not
git-remote-hg.

Looking at the code my understanding is that the hg-git plugin creates
that gitnode information on-the-fly, it's not stored anywhere in the
hg repository. So if you remove or disable that hg-git plugin, the
information disappears.

git-remote-hg does create an exact replica of the hg repository
itself, so you can do a round trip. But it's not an hg plugin, so it
doesn't provide that gitnode extra information. That's something only
an hg plugin can do.

I said I stopped development in the past, but I'm working on it again.

I don't know. I would need to see an example.
