git(hub) mirror of hg-stable?

[Steve Losh]

Inspired by a comment on Reddit, I decided to put hg-git through its  
paces and see if it could handle the hg-stable repository.

It took a while (apparently when pushing to a local git repo it still  
converts changesets into individual packets...) but it seems to have  
worked fine.  The commits all converted fine and cloning (with git)  
and building succeeds.

I'm curious if anyone else thinks keeping a git mirror (probably on  
GitHub, since it seems to be the hot place in the git world) of hg- 
stable would be a good idea.  It wouldn't take much effort, and it  
would make it easier for current git users to try out (and possibly  
switch to) Mercurial.
