[issue1332] hg convert from SVN fails with unknown exception

[David Smith]

New submission from David Smith <david.smith at speed-trap.com>:

I am trying to use hg convert to convert a Subversion repository. I am on a 
Windows XP system so I have had to build Mercurial from sources because of the 
need for the Python SVN  bindings. The build and install seemed to go OK. hg 
debuginstall said there were no problems.

Using the command: hg convert file:///C:/Repositories/Speed-Trap6.2 > hg-
convert.log 2<&1

I get the following error:

C:\Mercurial>python C:\tools\Python25\Scripts\hg convert 
file:///C:/Repositories/Speed-Trap6.2 
assuming destination Speed-Trap6.2-hg
initializing destination Speed-Trap6.2-hg repository
** unknown exception encountered, details follow
