[issue946] Numerous issues with darcs convert [data loss!]

[John Goerzen]

New submission from John Goerzen <jgoerzen at complete.org>:

I attempted to do an hg convert over the Darcs repo at
http://darcs.complete.org/missingh

Inspecting the result, I see numerous problems:

1) The pending/ directory in the darcs repo is completely missing in the
Mercurial copy of it.

2) Renames in Darcs didn't come across well.  Sometimes the destination of a
renamed file was lost entirely, and the renamed file was just deleted.  (This
may be part of the problem with pending/).  Other times, the source and
destination is correct, but it looks like a delete -- hg log --debug -C or hg
export --git shows no rename or copy anywhere.

Problem #1 is a serious data loss problem.  #2 is a metadata loss problem that
should be fixable too.
