[Cameron Pope]

New submission from Cameron Pope <cpope at thoughtequity.com>:

I get an 'unknown repository type' error when attempting to import an svn
repository that requires a certificate to be accepted

cpope-mac:Source cpope$ hg version
Mercurial Distributed SCM (version b7f44f01a632)

cpope-mac:Source cpope$ hg -v --debug convert -v
https://kaltura.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/kaltura/
assuming destination kaltura-hg
initializing destination kaltura-hg repository
using https://kaltura.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/kaltura/
