Working on it right now. Does an UI like that fits your wish ?
hg convert [same options as my patched convert-repo]

For my patches i wouldn't care losing authorship.

And once everything gets ACK i will have submit a clean hg export of all 
patches, respecting authorship of patches i would not have written.

Because the previous patch enh-dst-repo-init.patch detects a case that
the current one doesn't catch that is:
 - doesn't init a non empty dir that is not a mercurial repo already.

So i thought it could be good not to init the src repo if the dst repo is 
not able to hold the conversion. The patch didn't prove useful, but 
afterwards, in the case of svn, convert.svn__init__ is not cheap, so 
avoiding it is quite cool.

This patch can be trashed if you want.
