In a merge commit, the first parent is always the same parent that
would be recorded if the commit were not a merge and the other
parent(s) record the commit(s) being merged in.
Preserving this order is important so that log --first-parent works
properly and also so that the merge history is not distorted by an
incorrect permutation of the DAG.
Remove the code that sorts the merge parents based on node id so
that the correct DAG order is preserved.
The authors file format accepted by git-svnimport and git-cvsimport
actually allows blank lines and comment lines that start with '#'.
Ignore blank lines and lines starting with '#' as the first
non-whitespace character to be compatible with the authors file
format accepted by the referenced tools.
Intercept -h/--help before git-sh-setup so the proper script name
can be shown instead of "hg fast-export.sh" which is wrong.
Reorder the long option descriptions to be in the same order as
the short usage since, as the help says, "argument order matters."
Add support for a new --hgtags option. When given, any .hgtags
files that may be present are exported.
Normally this is not desirable. However, when attempting to mimic
the actions of other hg exporters that always export any .hgtags
files this option can help produce matching export data.
If the file mode changes (for example from 10644 to 10755), but the
actual text of the file itself does not, then the change could be
missed since the hashes would remain the same.
If the hashes match, also compare the gitmode values before deciding
the file is unchanged.
Since hg runs and supports older versions of python, hg-fast-export.py
should too. Replace dictionary comprehension with equivalent code that
supports versions of python older than 2.7.
Originally 9643aa5d did this by using a bashism even though the
/bin/sh interpreter is being used.
Then ea55929e attempted to compensate for this by disabling the
bashism when the interpreter was not actually bash which results
in the hg-fast-export.py exit code still being ignored in that case.
Instead check the error code without requiring a bashism.
hg-fast-export.sh always passes the --repo flag to hg-fast-export.py.
If, for some reason, we have a state file where the repo-url is an
empty string the checks in hg-fast-export.py will not work and the
user will be confused. Therefore we check that the url is specified
before calling hg-fast-export.py.
Because on Windows sys.stdout is initially in text mode, any LF
characters written to it will be transformed to CRLF, which causes git
to blow up. This change uses Windows platform-specific code to change
sys.stdout to binary mode.
After an update to Mercurial 2.3 the module 'repo' was removed and the
program crashed when trying to convert a repository. I checked the
imports with 'pyflakes' and removed all unused ones, repo (among
others) was never used.

Thank's to Cole Robinson for reporting the bug and providing a fix
which was adapted to this patch.
The original bug report:
I was recently converting a few mercurial repositories to git, and
noticed certain commits had their date reset to Jan 1 1970.
An example repo:
http://hg.fedorahosted.org/hg/virt-manager
An example commit:
http://hg.fedorahosted.org/hg/virt-manager/rev/41182500ddef
After some poking, it seems the culprit was that the "author:" was
surrounded by quotation marks
The previous code did an awful lot of work to infer the parents of an
exported commit, incorporating information from many sources. But
there were multiple bugs in this scheme, sometimes resulting in merge
commits with two parents pointing to the same commit object.
Instead, use a much more straightforward process of mapping the
parents stored in hg.
hg-fast-export uses hg's branch order (from the log) when merging,
this is a problem. Consider the case:
HG repo A has revisions 1-10. Repository B is cloned from that.
Subsequently, A adds revision 11, and B adds a different change which
also has revision 11. If B now pulls from A, A's rev11 will have the
number 12; if A then pulls from B, the reverse also holds. So the logs
are different even though they contain the exact same changes.
hg-fast-export will thus create different git repositories for A and B,
even though the contents are identical for all practical purposes.
In particular, the repos would be identical if A and B had used git from
the beginning.
To fix that, compare HG revisions instead of log positions.
Previously we fed the full revision only for the first one and deltas
for all following including branches being forked off. This doesn't work
with branches that are forked from revision 0. In case such a branch is
found, we now also feed the full revision.

HG tag movement is now supported with this patch.
This patch creates a .git/hg2git-mapping file, which maps
HG revision numbers to HG hashes. Combined with the
.git/hg2git-marks file, which maps HG revisions to GIT hashes,
we can now reprocess all tags at the end of each hg export
operation.
