Hi.

I want to convert my projects from a Subversion repository to Mercurial one.

However reading at 
http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/RepositoryConversion:

1) svn2hg requires, for some reasons, Python 2.5.
    For some other reasons, it uses XML
2) the builtin support in Mercurial is not yet ready
3) Tailor is just too big



I'm missing somethings?
Are there any other problems with these tools?


I'm working on a simple parser of the Subversion dump file.
This parser implements an interface like the one found in the Python 
standard xml parser (a parser and a content handler).

It should not be too hard to write a content handler that will populate 
a new Mercurial repository from a Subversion dump.



Thanks  Manlio Perillo
