I see this in your commit:

  --HG--
  extra : rebase_source : df29f96c957600629a34a1c5fafb8b3d6f274e22

Can hg-git be configured to not put extra stuff in the message?

Git (and AFAIK hg) use the time at which the commit was created
according to your local system clock.

Create a page here:

  http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake/Git/Hg

and add a link to it from the intro paragraph of this section:

  http://cmake.org/Wiki/CMake/Git#Workflow

as an alternative workflow.
