Example of hg convert on Ubuntu

Converting a Subversion repository to a Mercurial repository is very easy. Here's an example that uses hg convert to convert a SVN repository (django-tagging) to Mecurial on Ubuntu. I'm using Mercurial 1.3 on Ubuntu 9.04.

• Install Subversion Python bindings. (This should solve the "Subversion python bindings could not be loaded" error)

  sudo apt-get install python-subversion

• Enable the "convert" extension. Add the following to your ~/.hgrc file:

  [extensions]
  hgext.convert =

• Convert:

  hg convert http://django-tagging.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ django-tagging-hg

• Update:

  cd django-tagging-hg
  hg update
