Okay, thanks for all the feedback.  New version is at:

If everyone is happy with that, I'll remove the old version, along with the diagram.

So I like the new text much better than the old, but I think your diagram is still pertinent in the context of the new text. The only issue I have with the diagram is you don't see the steps in the order that are given in the text but I am not sure that is possible to do.

I think the diagram contributes little to the new text and, in fact, confuses things. The diagram really corresponds to the old description.

FWIW, I think your text is generally good enough (some nits below). You might want to say that "this is one way" or somesuch, because there are other variants (e.g., I typically commit multiple times before pushing, etc.). But I doubt it's worth going into that much detail.

Right.  Let experts diverge from the notes as they will.

Minor nits:

Speaking of which, I changed walla to voila. (You said elsewhere that you didn't speak French.)

- On the "put back to SVN" side, note that you might need to SVN add/ remove as well (i.e., if you added or removed stuff in hg).

I'm confused. It would seem to me, you should do this after an "hg update" in the combo workspace. What arguments should "svn add" take? That is, how do you know which files were just added by "hg update"?

It's also  common to need to update various svn:ignore properties.

What does this mean?

- On the "commit to my local hg" side, it's not always a good idea to just run a top-level "hg addremove" -- that may slurp in some kruft files that you have in your workspace. I usually use a finer-grained "hg add file1 file2 ..." approach (because I've been burned by the top- level "hg addremove" approach before).

Okay.  Done.
