Understanding the relationship of mercurial and it's extensions

[Ernie Rael]

I was just communicating with someone who has depended on a mercurial 
repo that mirrors a repo on github. That mirror is going away, I 
suggested he give hg-git a try.

He responded with a question I can't answer

I'm not even sure what he meant by this question (I suggested that maybe 
some of them do). I guess his concern is reliability, and me saying I've 
been using it for years and there's been a lot of work on it lately 
doesn't cut it.

But it did get me thinking about the relationship of things. Any 
suggestions on discovering more about this topic?
