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
```

How to install Mercurial 1.0 on Ubuntu Hardy

Mercurial 1.0 is out! Mercurial is a next generation "fast, lightweight source control management system" boasting conversions by notable projects NetBeans, OpenJDK, Globulation2, Xine, Mozilla, grml, and OpenSolaris.

From the release notes, version 1.0 has improvements for copying, renaming, removing, and merging. I want to use the most robust version possible, so I decided to upgrade. Ubuntu Gutsy's Mercurial version is 0.9.4, and even Hardy will only have 0.9.5. Luckily, Mercurial 1.0 is easy-installable. That makes it easy to install:
