Is there a cheat sheet or wiki page out there which relates hg commands to git commands, and vise-versa?

I'd like to know for two reasons: first, I'd like to be able to translate git-speak¹ into Mercurial, and second I'd like to be aware of the subtle differences between similar-sounding commands (eg, hg pull and git pull).

¹ case in point: git push origin :refs/heads/foo

You also have quite a complete reference in the Mercurial Wiki itself:

Disclaimer: I work for Atlassian.

We have a less comprehensive cheat sheet comparing equivalent/similar SVN, Git & Hg commands in our blog post comparing Git to Mercurial.
