Mercurial convert extension not able to pull from remote Git repository

Question
I'm trying to do a 'hg convert
', to pull from a Git repo into an Hg one.
Now, I don't have Git installed on my Windows 7 machine; is that necessary? I'm using the TortoiseHG commandline, and I have activated the convert extension ('hg help convert
' works fine).
Here's an example of the command I'm trying to use:
hg convert -s git -d hg https://github.com/mysticbob/glm.git gittest
That's a public repo on Github, so I should be able to convert from it. And the address is what Github says one should use for getting. What I get is the following message:
initializing destination gittest repository
https://github.com/mysticbob/glm.git does not look like a Git repository
Any ideas?
