[issue1064] convert/subversion - error when copying from remote repository

[Paul Moore]

New submission from Paul Moore <p.f.moore at gmail.com>:

I am using TortoiseHg under Windows XP, as this is the only binary which comes
with Subversion bindings install. When I try to do an incremental update,
converting the latest checkins from the Python trunk Subversion repository, I
get an error:

>hg convert http://svn.python.org/projects/python/trunk aaaa
scanning source...

libsvn._core.SubversionException: ('child raised exception', 175002)

If there's anything useful I can do to provide extra debugging information,
please let me know.

This may be user error. I created the initial repository from a copy created
using svnsync, but am now trying to convert the new revisions from the original.
If this is wrong, could I suggest that the documentation include a note that
incremental converts must be done from the exact same repository, and not from a
copy made using svnsync (as this otherwise seemed to me to be a good way of
speeding up the initial lengthy pull of the history).
