Hm it does not work for me  as I will describe below, but I also would like
to know: what is the -R option?

Here is a test case I run, just concerning the bridge-repo

$HOME: mkdir Git-Hg
       cd Git-Hg
       mkdir Git
       cd Git
       git init
       generate a file, add text, commit 2 times.

       cd $HOME/Git-Hg
       mkdir Hg
       cd Hg
       hg clone $HOME/Git-Hg/Git (succesful)
       (hg clone of that git repo is now in $HOME/Git-Hg/Hg/Git)
       cd Git
       hg log

      hg bookmarks
      * master                    1:853a02fe291d
      edit the file various times, commit once with hg
      now push
      hg push $HOME/Git-Hg/Git

I obtain an error.

Could it be my hg version (3.01) or my git version (1.7.0.4)

Any help would be appreciated, because if that simple case does not
work, no change for me to consider a repo at github.

thanks
