In the working copy, when I try:
hg convert . .

I get the exact same error(s).  With both commands, if I exclude the  
destination or make the destination a different directory, they will  
both create mercurial repositories with a log.

However when I do an "hg status" on the converted directory, all the  
files are "?" status (not sure if that is a new bug or related)
