hello,

i did try this myself and succeded to convert
the repository.

steps:

1.
rsync the svn from sourceforge (to avoid loading
their machines and network problems)

 rsync -av harbour-project.svn.sourceforge.net::svn/harbour-project/* hp

2. run a local svn server
svnserve -d -r hp

3. convert
 hg convert svn://localhost/ hp-hp

the conversion seem to be ok; i did not
try to verify the correct corrispondence between
svn and hg.

it took ~ 5hours on my pc.
