The prop[osal is to have a script called 'git' which would call hg to
return the Git hash of a repository cloned with hg. Then Emacs will
get what it wants what it calls "git rev-parse".

AFAIR, the hash is computed when Emacs is built, and is recorded in
the built Emacs. It cannot be calculated after the build.
