how are pull request suppose to work with hg-git

[Uwe Brauer]

Hi

Currently matlab-emacs dwells in sourgeforge (as a git repository). It
has been proposed to move/mirror it either to github or gitlab, because
of pull-request.

So I made an experiment. I mirrored the sourceforge repository in gitlab

g...@gitlab.com:kalthad/matlab-emacs-default.git

I made a fork
g...@gitlab.com:kalthad/matlab-emacs-default-feature.git

In that fork I created new git branch new-feature and added a relative
trivial commit.

Then I thought to add
fork = git+ssh://g...@gitlab.com:kalthad/matlab-emacs-default-feature.git

And indeed

hg in fork

Shows me
changeset: 690:6e245a2cbb2e
bookmark: new-feature
user: Uwe Brauer <o...@mat.ucm.es>
date: Sat Apr 15 07:44:02 2023 -0200
summary: New file explaining the use of the python engine


However when I run

hg pull -B new-feature fork
,----
| pulling from git+ssh://g...@gitlab.com:kalthad/matlab-emacs-default-feature.git

`----

So hg pull -u fork

Works.

Any idea what is going on?
