No, if you use hg-git, you create a *Mercurial* repository from a git
repository. While Mercurial can communicate with the original git
repository in this way, nothing *forces* you to keep using the git
repository. IIUC, you can clone, push, and pull to and from "normal"
Mercurial repositories with an hg-git Mercurial repository.
