Unlike gcc, asciidoc does not atomically write its output file or
delete it when interrupted.  If it is interrupted in the middle of
writing an XML file, the result will be truncated input for xsltproc.

	XSLTPROC user-manual.html
	user-manual.xml:998: parser error : Premature end of data in t

Take care of this case by writing to a temporary and renaming it when
finished.

hg-to-git.txt
hg-to-git.py is able to convert a Mercurial repository into a git one,
and preserves the branches in the process (unlike tailor)

hg-to-git.py can probably be greatly improved (it's a rather crude
combination of shell and python) but it does already work quite well for
me. Features:
	- supports incremental conversion
	  (for keeping a git repo in sync with a hg one)
        - supports hg branches
        - converts hg tags

Note that the git repository will be created 'in place' (at the same
location as the source hg repo). You will have to manually remove the
'.hg' directory after the conversion.

Also note that the incremental conversion uses 'simple' hg changesets
identifiers (ordinals, as opposed to SHA-1 ids), and since these ids
are not stable across different repositories the hg-to-git.py state file
is forever tied to one hg repository.
