How do I rebase from upstream mercurial into a git fork?

Question

The python library suds can't seem to find a stable maintainer, and the few that have picked up the slack don't seem to agree on a common VCS.

There are plenty of guides on how to do various things between git and hg, however most of them seem to revolve around submodules and converting repositories back and forth. How do I simply pull in upstream changes from a remote hg branch to my local git branch? Ideally, I'd like to do the following:

$ git remote add upstream-jurko ssh://hg@bitbucket.org/jurko/suds
$ git pull upstream-jurko master
conq: not a git repository.
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

Answer 1

• Drop Git, which doesn't have good support for external Mercurial repositories and move to Mercurial

OR

• Use bridge in git for Mercurial and Bazaar from Felipe Contreras in your Git
