Procedure for patching hg-git into Windows Mercurial
Tested on Windows 10, Mercurial 4.9.1, and Python 2.7 on March 26, 2019

1. Install Mercurial and Python 2.7

Assume Mercurial is in C:\Program Files\Mercurial, Python 2.7 is in C:\Python27\python.exe

2. Copy mercurial's library.zip to a place in TEMP

mkdir ${env:TEMP}\mercurial
Copy-Item 'C:\Program Files\Mercurial\lib\library.zip' ${env:TEMP}\mercurial
Set-Location ${env:TEMP}\mercurial

3. Get hg-git sources

hg clone https://bitbucket.org/durin42/hg-git

4. Using explorer, open library.zip and copy hg-git\hggit to library.zip

5. Replace dulwich:

virtualenv -p C:\Python27\python.exe venv
. venv\scripts\activate.ps1
pip install dulwich

Using explorer, recursively copy all .pyc files from here into respective locations in the dulwich directory in library.zip.

6. Replace Mercurial's library.zip as administrator

Copy-Item 'C:\Program Files\Mercurial\lib\library.zip' 'C:\Program Files\Mercurial\lib\library.zip.orig'
Copy-Item ${env:TEMP}\mercurial\library.zip 'C:\Program Files\Mercurial\lib\library.zip'

7. Replace dulwich compiled modules

Copy-Item 'C:\Program Files\Mercurial\lib\dulwich._diff_tree.pyd' 'C:\Program Files\Mercurial\lib\dulwich._diff_tree.pyd.orig'
Copy-Item 'C:\Program Files\Mercurial\lib\dulwich._objects.pyd' 'C:\Program Files\Mercurial\lib\dulwich._objects.pyd.orig'
Copy-Item 'C:\Program Files\Mercurial\lib\dulwich._pack.pyd' 'C:\Program Files\Mercurial\lib\dulwich._pack.pyd.orig'

Copy-Item ${env:TEMP}\mercurial\venv\Lib\site-packages\dulwich\_diff_tree.pyd 'C:\Program Files\Mercurial\lib\dulwich._diff_tree.pyd'
Copy-Item ${env:TEMP}\mercurial\venv\Lib\site-packages\dulwich\_objects.pyd 'C:\Program Files\Mercurial\lib\dulwich._objects.pyd'
Copy-Item ${env:TEMP}\mercurial\venv\Lib\site-packages\dulwich\_pack.pyd 'C:\Program Files\Mercurial\lib\dulwich._pack.pyd'

8. Edit section in ${env:USERPROFILE}/mercurial.ini:

[extensions]
hggit=
