To use your github repo on Ubuntu 14.10 with the wonderful tortuise gui install the hg-git package with

sudo apt-get install mercurial-git

Configure your hg config ~/.hgrc (create it if not available)

[extensions]
hgext.git =
hgext.bookmarks =

Now clone your git repo with

hg clone git+ssh://git@github.com:select/scripts.git

this is different from the string you get from your github repo

git@github.com:select/scripts.git

becomes

git+ssh://git@github.com:select/scripts.git

Now you should be able to use thg (clearly the best client for decentralized version control out there! :D)

But unfortunately I get

pulling from git+ssh://git@github.com:select/scripts.git
cmdserver: timed out while reading: '["git-upload-pack \'s'...
interrupted!

meeh!
