FB has this as an extension. https://bitbucket.org/facebook/hg-experimental/ Is FB fully using hg internally, or both Git and hg, because obviously FB has public repo on Github.

My understanding is that fb is actively promoting hg for internal repositories. Not sure how they sync between public git and internal hg.
