I cleanup the git.py script a little and add the command to import GIT repository into mercurial. 

Assume you have git and mercurial install correctly. Download git.py and save as git. 

Before you start importing, you need to setup the git repository. Here is what I usually do: 

$ mkdir foo
$ cd foo
$ git initdb
$ git parent ../git/foo.git/objects

Now start importing stuff to mercurial:
$ git hgci 3


Which will import 3 delta in to mercurial. It will always rebuild a fresh copy of a ".hg" directory
and delete any pending change. The first time invoke will take a long time because it will walk
the git repository change log history and saves it to cache. The subsequent invoke will use the cache
instead. The cache is build incrementally.
It use the "rawcommit" command which provide in this patch to mercurial.
