hg-git plugin, problem with local cloning: bookmarks

GNU emacs which I am interested about has ~20 branches, so I have to
checkout each of them, and of each of them reclone? Cumbersome I say,
and even then I am not sure how re-clone is supposed to work.

I am still puzzled why this is *not* necessary when I clone directly
from the git repo, but only when I clone locally.

I think I will do, since I cannot access the mailing list.
