hg-git converts git repos into hg repos, while hgit lets you do `hg commit` or `git commit` on the exact same git repo, with the exact same hashes.

Why is it better? Converting a git repo to hg takes a long time, you need a way to translate hashes back and forth between the two repos, bookmarks in hg are not exactly the same as branches in git. Or in the words of Cervantes, "translation from one language into another [...] is like gazing at a Flemish tapestry with the wrong side out."
