svn -> hg conversion

[Bill Barry]

I could be wrong, but I am almost certain that you can use some svnadmin 
kung-fu to fix this.

svnadmin dump ~/repo > repo.dump
(or something like this, I don't remember the syntax exactly)
the dump will contain every revision to which you can then write a 
script to change the lines that say "Node-path: somefilename": to be 
"Node-path: trunk/somefilename" and you will have to manually change the 
revision where the files were actually moved

Then you can import the dump into a new repo with:
svnadmin load ~/newrepo <repo.dump

Then you should be able to convert all the changesets to hg after you 
have fixed history for the svn revisions
