svn - Converting from Mercurial to Subversion

Question

Due to lack of Mercurial support in several tools, and managerial oppression it has become necessary to convert several trial Mercurial repositories to Subversion in order to conform with the company standard.

Are there any tools or suggestions for how to achieve this without a loss of revision history and the like?

Answer 1

The convert extension that ships with mercurial can use mercurial as a src and subversion as a dest.

hg convert --dest-type svn hgreponame svnreponame

Make sure to enable it in your .hgrc file.

If you want to keep using mercurial on the sly, then hgsubversion will allow you to do bidirectional sync.
