Indeed, no clone is performed if the .git/hg dir already exists.
I think it assumes that it's already done.
That will certainly lead to the failure you are reporting.
Also, the directory can be created to store marks for a local repository.
remote-hg won't require nor do a local clone in .git/hg for local repositories.
It should also be noted that once .git/hg is not empty, it will no
longer be possible to create a mercurial repository in there (it will
die with "destination '.git/hg' is not empty")
I think the best way would be to create the shared repository in
.git/hg/$share, with $share being a path that can't be a remote name
(so that it doesn't conflict with remote directories),
and then apply the following patch (copied in gmail)
diff --git a/contrib/remote-helpers/git-remote-hg
b/contrib/remote-helpers/git-remote-hg
index 0194c67..21c8091 100755

That way, the share can be created even if .git/hg already exists
(because of a previous import, before the shared machinery existed, or
because you already have a local remote).

I think that will be a problem, because then the shared_path will no
longer be shared, will it ?
