This did not work, but it gave me a hint, which did what I wanted.

Instead of fiddling arount with the config file in ./hg/git

I modified the hgrc file in .hg

changing

[paths]
default = /home/oub/ALLES/emacs/site-lisp/packages/src/Git/auctex.git

To 
[paths]
default = git://git.savannah.gnu.org/auctex.git

Then hg pull pulled the other «branches».

Thanks this was not at all obvious to me
