Package: mercurial-git
Version: 0+hg20090603-2
Severity: important
Making it important since it seems to be effecting generic usability of gclone
for any repository with more than a single branch (and that is what git was
created for).
While "hg gclone"ing repositories, branching seems to be there (viewed in
hgview) but all of the commits listed as parts of "default" branch as well
as the leaves of the branches; which makes imho little sense:
Example:
$> git clone git://git.debian.org/pkg-exppsy/psychopy.git psychopy-git
Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/psychopy-git/.git/

$> { cd psychopy-git; git branch -a; }

now lets gclone it:
$> cd ..
$> hg gclone psychopy-git psychopy-hggit

I know that due to git architecture, some times it is impossible to track
some elderly commit in respect to which branch it belonged; but well -- there
should be a way to handle at least starting from the current heads of the
branches.
