While many may say that that is a half-baked solution, I actually like it.

Mercurial and Git are pretty similar in their concept (if not in how the

data is actually stored).
Note that with git fast-export and hg fast-import, it should be relatively

simple to convert from one data format to the other, even incrementally.
And for the other direction, you could use hg fast-export from the

fast-export.git repository (I am working on a better one at the moment,

too, so that incremental fast-export would be possible, too).
Ciao,
