No. A repo's underlying SCM is determined at repo creation time and fixed thereafter. A Mercurial repo cannot be cloned with the git client, or vice versa.

It is true that some translation software exists that allows a git repo to be pushed to with a mercurial client (e.g. http://hg-git.github.io/), but ultimately that is just your machine using an separate tool to translate hg to git.

You can use the Hg-Git Mercurial extension to access Git repositories if you want to use both Git and Mercurial for a repository. I don't know if such an extension exists for Git.
