Example of hg convert on Ubuntu

Date: 2009-08-05  |   Tags: mercurial, subversion

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
