Howto: Mercurial to Subversion migration
Hello
I am commiter in the Apache Wave project which was accepted into the Apache
incubator. We already migrated our issues from the googlecode to the Jira
and the next step is migration of the source code into the Apache SVN from
Mercurial. I tried to google for information on mercurial to svn migration
but couldn't find any simple (or even any working) solution. It would be a
great help to our migration effort if someone from the Subversion team can
advice on the best way to handle this.
Thanks
Yuri Zelikov

That is correct. That page indicates that the extension is <anything> -> hg. I have read (like I said on my first mail: I haven't try that myself) that it works also the other way around somewhere else, most probably on stackoverflow...

I'm reading that page. It seems to support subversion->hg, not the
reverse. it can convert "Mercurial" repositories to Mercurial
repositories. hg to other formats is not mentioned.

Mercurial comes bundled with the ConvertExtension. This extension accepts a Mercurial repo as source and SVN as destination. Having said that, I have never tried it, but you might give it a shot. Details are here:

I'm not a member of the "team", just an experienced user. I was faced
with a similar project, recently, with git, and said "don't make me
hurt you".
The only way I know of is to do an export of your current codebase,
and import it into SVN. The same is true for git. tools to convert svn
to other, more distributed systems are common place. There are
compelling reasons that repository conversion is awkward, much like
converting bread back into wheat.
You might be able to do something useful with "hgsvn", linking a
working mercurial copy writing scripts to step through the mercurial
updates and committing them to a Subversion trunk. Complete
integration of all available mercurial or git properties to
Subversion, including unweaving interwoven and multiply sourced
component histories, though? It's like turning a sweater back into a
sheep's fleece, it's messy, and the sheep will be unhappy.
