I am aware of this post. I tried doing it this way to insert a mercurial project (namely the eigen project) into a given git project.
When I try to clone it, I get something like
Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/.../.git/

When using the flag --force this leads to a huge output and at least some commits get created in git as desired. However the process terminates with the output
Traceback (most recent call last):

mercurial.error.RepoError: Projektarchiv nicht gefunden
The last text means repository not found in German.
If I try to git hg fetch or git hg pull I get the exact same traceback. Further it seems that not all commits from the eigen library are part of the git repository just created. When comparing the latest commits from master in git with the latest commits in mercurial one sees a dicrepancy of more than a year work (at least for me).
Can anybody verify this?
How can I overcome the problem? (GIT for the main project is set. The question is how to integrate the library in a matching version.)
Can anybody tell me a good alternative to git-hg if that might help?
