I have an SVN repository which contains a number of loosely-related subfolders in its trunk.
I would like to convert it into HG repository, turning each of these subfolders into a separate HG subrepo.
At the same time, I would like to access combined change log of all subrepos in the top level repo.
So I created an empty HG repo, some empty subrepos, linked their names and locations by .hgsub , checked that I can clone this repo together wth its subrepos to another comp ...
Then I tried to make partial SVN clones to subrepos (specifying SVN URL with .../trunk/subfolder for each subrepo). But they did not show in top-level HG history for a reason unknown to me.
I started from scratch, and tried to put SVN trunk URL into top-level .hg/hgrc and to do 'hg pull'. But it pulled the whole SVN repo into top level, and subrepos were left empty.
And now I would ask you what do to next ?
Probably I am missing something since I am new to HG.
I would appreciate any your advise.
