[issue2676] convert to svn fails when the destination directory is non empty and doesn't give any meaningful error message

[Azhagu Selvan]

New submission from Azhagu Selvan <tamizhgeek at gmail.com>:

I tried to convert a mercurial repository to a subversion repository.
The destination directory I have given is a existing non-empty directory. In
that case hg fails with, 

hg convert presentations/ presentations-svn --dest-type svn
initializing svn repository 'presentations-svn'
abort: svnadmin exited with status 256

Shouldn't it give more meaningful error message like, the directory is
non-empty?
