          Priority: normal
            Bug ID: 3743
                CC: mercurial-devel at selenic.com
          Assignee: bugzilla at selenic.com
           Summary: abort: unknown compression type '\x82' during
                    conversion
          Severity: bug
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: john.peacock at messagesystems.com
          Hardware: PC
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
           Version: 2.4.1
         Component: convert
           Product: Mercurial

I'm hitting the above error while trying to convert a repo (actually extract a
subtree into its own repo).  If I run the same command with --debug, I get
precious little extra information:

18046 Add deps if database role is chosen.  Refs #8188 (spent 0.25)
source: 3eeddb7b7eeb4370faa45846fde767ae7975d468
converting: 0/18047 revisions (0.00%)
build/packages/shared/installer.pl
getting files: build/packages/shared/installer.pl 1/1 (100.00%)
transaction abort!
rollback completed
run hg sink post-conversion action
run hg source post-conversion action
abort: unknown compression type '\x82'!

I can view the log of that changeset as well as the diff (nothing terribly
complicated).  I redid the local clone of the upstream repo to see if that
would help and nothing changed.  `hg verify` reports no errors whatsoever.

In this case, I'm willing to entertain a manual work around (hopefully this is
the only revision that is a problem).  If there are steps I can take to
manually apply this one changeset and then continue with the conversion, please
let me know.
