Add hg-to-git conversion utility.

hg-to-git.py  is able to convert a Mercurial repository into a git one,
and preserves the branches in the process (unlike tailor)

hg-to-git.py can probably be greatly improved (it's a rather crude
combination of shell and python) but it does already work quite well for
me. Features:
	- supports incremental conversion
	  (for keeping a git repo in sync with a hg one)
	- supports hg branches
	- converts hg tags

+   hg-to-git converts a Mercurial repository into a git one, and
+   preserves the full branch history in the process. hg-to-git can
+   also be used in an incremental way to keep the git repository
+   in sync with the master Mercurial repository.
