Ok, then the conversion created a branch with another name than the 
expected `default` one ; basically `HEAD` I guess.

`hg update tip` will update to the last converted changeset

or

`hg branches` to get the names of the present branches followed by `hg 
update branchname` should do what you want.

to prevent any further problem like that you might want to set the main 
branch name to `default` using `hg branch default`
