title: Can I use both Git and Mercurial - Git in the parent directory, and Mercurial hg in the child directories?
body: <p>In our small team we currently use Mercurial hg for a few projects. We talked about trying to move to Git. I thought about adding Git to the parent directory, to allow a more gradual transition. I'll be the first one to make this move - I'll use mostly Git for most of the tasks, but I'll pull and push from Mercurial hg.  </p>
  
  <p>This obviously requires that each version control ignores the files of the other. I'd like to confirm that this is doable, and that there is no known conflict for running Mercurial hg and git together. </p>
  
  <h2>Update</h2>
  
  <p>If I use mostly Git, and use Mercurial only for the final step - committing and pushing from Master to the remote repository - what are the risks? </p>
