[issue2625] hg convert fails with "Could not authenticate to server"

[mbillard]

New submission from mbillard <selenic at mbillard.com>:

I can't really make sense of the error.

When I try to do the following:
  hg --debug --traceback convert --config convert.usebranchnames=false [REPO
URL][REPO PATH] .

I get the following:

The repository is a subversion repository with a self-signed certificate
(which was added to my cacert.pem file because I can do hg clone svn+[REPO
URL][REPO PATH])
