Query about mercurial to svn migration

[narendra agrey <na...@yahoo.co.in>]

Hi Team,

I have got a task of migrating code base from Mercurial to SVN.

I had tried 'hg convert" and it starts working upto few revisions. At one point, it fails with statement: "svn error: file doesn't exists". I didn't recall the error code but there was one.

What does it mean and how can it be resolved?



Regards,

You ought to ask this question of the Mercurial folks.  It sounds like an error
we're producing but we don't really know the context of how their 'hg convert'
command is getting that error.  I'd have to tear about their code to even begin
to try and figure out possibly where it's coming from.

If you're going to ask for help with an error, it's best to provide the full
and exact error messages you're getting, including any error codes.  Providing
less than full information just makes it harder to help you and thus decreases
the chances of you getting any help.
