git-hg seems don't respect the order of a merge

[weynhamz]

In Git, usually, the first parent of a merge is the branch which other branches merged into.

I have tried your git-hg and abourget's git-hg-again both on mutt's hg repo, it seems that the later respects the order of a merge well, the former is a bit random. You can see from the screenshots below.

• A merge history graph of mutt imported by your git-hg:

• A merge history graph of mutt imported by abourget's git-hg-again:

• The actuall history graph plotted by hgk on mutt's hg repository:

As you can see from the above, the second graph by abourget's git-hg-again is very close to the original hgk graph and is actually reflecting the real workflow of the mutt.

This is interesting. git-hg is really a thin layer of convenience on top of http://github.com/frej/fast-export, although the version I was using was a little over 1 year old at this point. I just updated to the latest version and I'm curious if this fixes the issue. Otherwise it should probably be reported as an issue on fast-export.
