Convert mercurial (hg) to git repository for bitbucket

To convert hg repository on bitbucket to git repository follow below steps.

• Create new repository with Repository Type selected as Git
• follow below commands with the assumption that you already have hg repository cloned on your system. If not then you first need to clone existing hg repository.

Steps to follow

$ git clone git://repo.or.cz/fast-export.git  
$ mkdir <new git repo>  
$ cd <new git repo>  
$ git init  
$ ../fast-export/hg-fast-export.sh -r <path to hg local repository>  
$ git checkout HEAD  
$ git remote add origin https://<username>@bitbucket.org/<username>/<new git repo>.git or if you are going to use ssh authentication to push   
$ git remote add origin [email protected]:<username>/<new git repo>.git  
$ git push origin master  

This will convert your hg repository to git repository and it also maintains the commit history inside git repository.
