[issue1359] hg convert from git fails on Windows

New submission from esskov <esskov at oncable.dk>:

I'm trying to migrate a git repos to hg. In principle the "hg convert -s git" 
works fine, however all binary files are truncated to 1-2KB. My guess is that 
somewhere in the process all the files are opened in *text mode* instead of 
binary mode. The problem persists even when switching off the "autocrlf" 
settings on both git and hg. 

I'm using Mercurial 1.0.2 on Windows XP. I've tried both with the msysgit and 
Cygwin versions of git - makes no difference.
