mercurial -> git loses branch history: msg#00026

Subject: mercurial -> git loses branch history

Hi,

I just tried a hg -> git conversion via tailor.

The last working combination is hg 0.9.1 and tailor 0.9.28. I also had to
add "--remove" to tailor's git-update-index calls to get the import to
conclude. I don't know whether that was sufficient because I ran into a
worse problem.

That problem is: the import loses information. The hg repository I tried
this on contains a simple branch+merge:
|
D
/ \
B C
\ /
A
|

Unfortunately, the resulting git revision history is a straight -A-B-C-D-
sequence.

Ouch. :-( Needless to say, that won't work for me.

Any plans to fix that?
