Well, do some over-the-thumb-maths please and see that this
approach is doomed. 260000 linear revisions (the "easy part"),
and you can do 500 in two hours.
You need around 1040 hours, or more than 40 days to do the
conversion this way.
No ! really ? Thanks to over-the-thumb-maths, my insane brain now have a
better evaluation of result/time ratio...
This is certainly a problem :(. Perhaps it will be faster if
done in the same LAN of the physical repository?
For testing, I set up a machine with svn serveur and the script (so no
lan delay).
In fact the processing time was almost the same, the costly part of the
script seems to be the empty folder remove...
Is the converter that comes with Hg, worse?
Don't work for me. Try with mercurial 1.9 version, but fall down with a
strange python error.
And that is only the time until you very likely hit the
point where
the conversion will bail out "sorry, can not deal with
merges". This
is insane...
It doesn't seem like it will bail out but the script does have
some documented issues:
* no handling of branches
* all commits come from the user running the script
yes true, but the name of the original commiter is in the commit's
comments, and that's the better things we can have, because not all the
original commiters have an Apache's svn account, and even if it's the
case it will really complicated any script.

* move operations probably won't appear in the history as such
Nevertheless thanks to Florent for trying and reporting.
cheers,
Pedro.
