+The Hg-Git plugin is an extension for Mercurial, adding the ability to push to
+and pull from a Git server repository from Mercurial. This means you can
+collaborate on Git based projects from Mercurial, or use a Git server as a
+collaboration point for a team with developers using both Git and Mercurial.
+
+The Hg-Git plugin can convert commits / changesets losslessly from one system
+to another, so you can push via a Mercurial repository and another Mercurial
+client can pull it and their changeset node ids will be identical - Mercurial
+data does not get lost in translation.
+
+This plugin is implemented entirely in Python - there are no Git binary
+dependencies, you do not need to have Git installed on your system.
