Issue converting mercurial repository to svn -

i trying convert mercurial (hg) repository subversion (svn). (the reason i'm using tool uses svnkit, , want run on data hg repo.)

so ran mercurial convert extension:

hg convert --dest-type svn mercurialrepo svnrepo 

it seems working correctly starts output:

initializing svn working copy 'svnrepo-wc' scanning source... sorting... converting... 4336 commit message 4335 other commit message 

up until point gives me message abort: svn exited status 1:

4175 commit message abort: svn exited status 1 

any idea means and/or how solve it?

moreover looks though converted 160 revisions, when go svn working copy , svn log shows 35 revisions!

update: adding --debug , --traceback flags per djanssens' suggestion:

this last 1 went fine:

4302 removed file projectservice in ext source: afb26afbb72ba500fcb0b42c3c386540fbfa11fa converting: 34/4337 revisions (0.78%) getting files: historia4-web/src/main/webapp/meta-inf/maven/be.vlaanderen.awv.historia4/historia4-web/pom.properties 1/3 (33.33%) getting files: historia4-web/src/main/webapp/index.jsp 2/3 (66.67%) getting files: historia4-web/src/main/webapp/js/be/vlaanderen/awv/historia4/services/projectservice.js 3/3 (100.00%) running: 'svn' 'delete' 'historia4-web/src/main/webapp/js/be/vlaanderen/awv/historia4/services/projectservice.js' d         historia4-web/src/main/webapp/js/be/vlaanderen/awv/historia4/services/projectservice.js running: 'svn' 'commit' '--username=schoovlo' '--file=/var/folders/q1/pxdczzk90xz28qdkk3r0krsw0000gn/t/hg-convert-svldzc' '--encoding=utf-8' sending        historia4-web/src/main/webapp/meta-inf/maven/be.vlaanderen.awv.historia4/historia4-web/pom.properties sending        historia4-web/src/main/webapp/index.jsp deleting       historia4-web/src/main/webapp/js/be/vlaanderen/awv/historia4/services/projectservice.js transmitting file data .. committed revision 35. running: 'svn' 'propset' 'hg:convert-branch' 'histiv-8-projectdef' '--revprop' '--revision=35' property 'hg:convert-branch' set on repository revision 35 

here started doing weird stuff:

4301 histiv-8-projectdef afgerond source: 55f79e40185fe81420008da5489e5736bb938818 converting: 35/4337 revisions (0.81%) running: 'svn' 'commit' '--username=schoovlo' '--file=/var/folders/q1/pxdczzk90xz28qdkk3r0krsw0000gn/t/hg-convert-vbovih' '--encoding=utf-8' 4300 histiv-8 merged default source: dc46a9b84cebf41cd1cc1a771678a14c2cbce780 converting: 36/4337 revisions (0.83%) 

and @ end get:

so apparently doesn't *.groovy files. next move exclude problematic files using filemap option:

hg convert --debug --traceback --filemap filemap --dest-type svn . clonesvn  

with filemap file containing:

exclude whateverfileismakingtheproblem 

but same problem occurs little ways down road different file.

the way see now, problem @ point there revisions in file x deleted. there problem earlier, when converter reason skipped revison in file x added. svn complaining we're deleting isn't there deleted in first place.

i'm not mercurial expert in way, i'll suggest (own) observations , ideas

1. you can|have use revmap additional parameter on conversion

revmap a simple text file maps each source commit id destination id each revision

says convert extension wiki

in ideal conversion case (full conversion, no errors) left column on revmap-file identical to

hg log -t "{node}\n" -r : 

parts of revmap , log of src-repo

in your case trimmed @ first "bad" changeset, in revmap (comparing log) you'll able find skipped earlier changesets

2. convert extension can convert part of repo (-r parameter) and, if in sequential usage

   hg convert --dest-type svn src dst revmap -r n

dst , revmap aren't changed, convert perform incremental conversion , >> additional conversions revmap instead of overwriting @ each step. i.e converted 40-changesets src single hg convert --dest-type svn src dst revmap or hg convert --dest-type svn src dst revmap -r (10|20|30|40) , got identical dsts result. way can try convert problematic (identified skipped @ step 1) revisions without redoing work (convert -r $skipped-1 once , -r $skipped lot times later). maybe you'll fill bug-report such "skippable" changesets mercurial devs result of research (as last resort) , able change @ side

3. if task isn't preparing convert's oddities, getting result (usable svn-repo), can think "conversion" svn hgsubversion , pushing svn-repository (create empty svn-repo, publish any access-protocol except file:///, push repo /probably -f, if "repositories unrelated"/)
