Hello,

I just committed a change using hg-git:

http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commit;h=8f9f6b3ac1850e5b630871fd080360ad6874fb39

First, I would like to make sure that everything looks good and
nothing was messed up. For example, the committ time in the main page
(http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git) seems off, but I'm not sure if
this is a git thing.

Notice that the workflow was:

1. hg clone git://cmake.org/cmake.git CMake
2. ... my regular mercurial Mq development ...
3. hg pull # to get latest changes
4. hg rebase -s rev1 -d rev2 # to have changes at the tip
5. hg push -r tip git+ssh://git@cmake.org:cmake.git

If there is interest, I can write a small entry in the wiki on how to
install/configure hg-git, and how to use this workflow. If so, where
should I put this information?
