I don't think that's needed, unless you have used some odd filenames
that may cause problems when trying to access the repository on a
Windows computer (e.g. a directory named 'aux' -- which is a reserved
filename on Windows -- or for very long filenames).

Mercurial 1.7.1 should be able to use preexisting repositories in any
format (see [1] for how this is done).

You can convert the repo to the latest format with 'hg clone --pull' to
make sure you get all the benefits provided by the current format.

And don't forget to regularly use 'hg verify' to check integrity, and
make backups.
