Build a GIT repo with at least 1 tag

  $ mkdir git-repo
  $ cd git-repo
  $ git init >/dev/null 2>&1
  $ echo a > a
  $ git add a
  $ action commit -m "rev1"
  $ action tag -m "tag1" tag1
  $ cd ..

Convert without tags

  $ hg convert git-repo hg-repo --config convert.skiptags=True
  initializing destination hg-repo repository
  scanning source...
  sorting...
  converting...
  0 rev1
  updating bookmarks
  $ hg -R hg-repo tags
  tip                                0:d98c8ad3a4cf
  $ rm -rf hg-repo

Do a first conversion

Simulate upstream  updates after first conversion

  $ cd git-repo
  $ echo b > a
  $ git add a
  $ action commit -m "rev2"
  $ action tag -m "tag2" tag2
  $ cd ..

Perform an incremental conversion

Print the log

  $ cd hg-repo
  $ glog
  o  3 "update tags" files: .hgtags

  | o  2 "rev2" files: a
  | |
  o |  1 "update tags" files: .hgtags
   /
  o  0 "rev1" files: a
