Could that be automated, then? 

hg convert ONLINE_HG_REPO 
-> hg clone REPO /tmp/repo-hg ; hg convert /tmp/repo-hg repo-hg ; rm -r 
/tmp/repo-hg

(that's what I did to fix it for me...)

Otherwise it somehow breaks the "Mercurial just works" theme, I got used to :) 

I use it for creating a shared codeswarm for multiple projects, using only the 
commits since the last swarm, so I can make a daily/weekly "what did the free 
software community do" codeswarm movie.

Best wishes,
