Couple of questions from a potential new user

[rich]

I have a couple of questions that weren't answered on the web site.

First, how does hg-git encode/decode multiple heads?

And second, how does hg-git encode/decode git submodules or hg
subrepos?

It doesn't - we use bookmarks to describe where refs should live (AIUI
- I've never experimented with this despite being the maintainer).

It doesn't. They're ignored in both directions.

So why does push fail if it can't find the subrepo on the server?

I should clarify: we don't convert the subrepos into git submodules,
but we also don't prevent you from using subrepos in any way.

So there's no translation, but the hg subrepos are recorded and
reconstituted just as one would expect from an hg repo?
