Working with Subversion

[Patrick Mézard]

Hello,

Details about interoperating with Subversion repositories can be found here:

	http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/WorkingWithSubversion


It is not exhaustive, I expect hgsvn users to describe a typical hgsvn session there.

Also, these recipes are based on my own habits and people may have better tricks. Perhaps Brian could provide some insights about practical uses or pitfalls of the existing but non-advertized Subversion sink of convert extension. While many operations can be scripted, I intentionally avoided it for non-portability can be deceiving and to highlight the amount of manual intervention required from a newcomer.

I hope this will give a clearer picture of what can be done with Mercurial in this area, especially compared to Git and Bazaar-NG which are known to have much better support in this area.
