hg convert [OPTION]... SOURCE [DEST [MAPFILE]]

Convert a foreign SCM repository to a Mercurial one.

    Accepted source formats:

    - Mercurial

    - CVS

    - Darcs

    - git

    - Subversion

    Accepted destination formats:

    - Mercurial

    - Subversion (history on branches is not preserved)

    If no revision is given, all revisions will be converted. Otherwise,

    convert will only import up to the named revision (given in a format

    understood by the source).

    If no destination directory name is specified, it defaults to the

    basename of the source with '-hg' appended.  If the destination

    repository doesn't exist, it will be created.

    If <MAPFILE> isn't given, it will be put in a default location

    (<dest>/.hg/shamap by default).  The <MAPFILE> is a simple text

    file that maps each source commit ID to the destination ID for

    that revision, like so:

    <source ID> <destination ID>

    If the file doesn't exist, it's automatically created.  It's updated

    on each commit copied, so convert-repo can be interrupted and can

    be run repeatedly to copy new commits.

    The [username mapping] file is a simple text file that maps each source

    commit author to a destination commit author. It is handy for source SCMs

    that use unix logins to identify authors (eg: CVS). One line per author

    mapping and the line format is:

    srcauthor=whatever string you want

    The filemap is a file that allows filtering and remapping of files

    and directories.  Comment lines start with '#'.  Each line can

    contain one of the following directives:

      include path/to/file

      exclude path/to/file

      rename from/file to/file

    The 'include' directive causes a file, or all files under a

    directory, to be included in the destination repository, and the

    exclusion of all other files and dirs not explicitely included.

    The 'exclude' directive causes files or directories to be omitted.

    The 'rename' directive renames a file or directory.  To rename from a

    subdirectory into the root of the repository, use '.' as the path to

    rename to.
