By being a two-way bridge, hg-git must allow that too with a workflow
like this (I haven't tried and don't know if the commands are correct):

  hg clone http://soc.googlecode.com/hg/ hg-soc
  # create git-soc repository
  cd soc
  hg gpush ../git-soc

The git-soc repository is now a Git repository. Changes can be made
there and the hg-git extension can pull them back into hg-soc. From
there Mercurial can push them to googlecode as normal.

The Mercurial repository could be completely managed by a Git extension
so that one can work directly with a Mercurial repository from Git.

So this means that Git users can begin working with repositories on
Bitbucket as well :-)
