hmm.  Looking at the 'hg', my next guess is that git-cl is calling
mercurial for some reasno.

git-cl is built on top of rietveld's "upload.py" script.  Rietveld
was built around svn.  Google added mercurial shortly afterwards,
but didn't add git until a few years later.  So git support is
kind-of bolted on with duct tape.  Perhaps the upload.py portion
of git-cl is deciding that you're working with mercurial, and then
not finding a .hg or .bzr or whatever directory mercurial uses?
