Note for mercurial-git / hg-git and https access to github

I needed the patch discussed in here: https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!topic/hg-git/YVvcRH8R8NI

Then

Add ~/.hgrc:

[extensions]
hgext.bookmarks =
hgext.git =

[auth]
xxx.prefix = https://github.com
xxx.username = my_user_name
xxx.password = my_password

Some web documents are old. Ignore them.

xxx can be anything but I use `github'.

Then

$ hg clone git+https://github.com/my_user_name/blahblah.git

Note: Git branches are handled as Hg bookmarks.
