svn - how can I tell if `hg convert` is actually doing anything? -


i'm using mercurial on win32 (server 03). i'd copy subversion repo on local drive mercurial repo on local drive can test merging abilities of mercurial vs subversion.

is hg convert right command use?

after this: "c:\program files\tortoisehg\hg.exe" convert c:\dev\subversionrepo\myrepo -r 123456 -s svn c:\devhg\myrepo_123456

i message says:

8 created myrepo branch again copy  http://.../branches/sourcerepo.  there myrepo  branch in same location deleted. 

ok i'm nervous. branch in location deleted? nooo don't want deleting branches.

and convert command seems stalled. there no files being created in c:\devhg\myrepo_123456 beyond basic .hg folder. doing wrong?

  1. you should use '--debug' switch see what's happening.

  2. you should understand hg convert can spend long time working on first entry. number on line how many more has do. if number 600, got wait ahead of you.

  3. each line next number comment commit, not sort of status message hg convert command.

  4. hg convert produces set of changes repository, not actual files. of output in .hg folder.

do fresh start removing every thing , use "hg convert" once. creates mercurial repo can work from, make changes , push changes subversion repo.
