Right now I've just added an error when using remote repositories.
But it seems there's no way around it; if we want to have support for
remote repos, we need to make a local clone.

My git-remote-hg does the local clone into .git/ using a hash of the
url (although you could just as well use urlencode, basically any way
to safely use a url as a directory name). Have a look if you want.

Can you point to the version you are talking about? I've been checking
the remote-hg branch of fingolfin.

https://github.com/fingolfin/git/tree/remote-hg/

The code is in https://github.com/msysgit/git/ (Sverre does not have
enough time to work on remote-hg, and was okay with me hosting it in Git
for Windows, for all the reasons I mentioned earlier in this thread).

Hth,
Johannes
