Although bazaar integration with svn is better than hgsubversion, I kind of didn't like working with bazaar itself. However, I encourage to try out bazaar-svn and use whatever fits you well =) Actually, I used bazaar-svn before hgsubversion.

It comes with a built-in capability to work with Subversion repositories so the installation part is not an issue anymore. Additionally Bazaar is one step ahead of Mercurial as it allows you to work in a distributed or centralized fashion at will. What you do is you can "bind" your local branch to the Subversion server and use Bazaar as a regular Subversion client (centralized-way) or unbind the branch and have it like in Mercurial (distributed-way). I use Bazaar for everyday work as a replacement for Subversion client and it has been extremely stable so far.

I will test it with the latest TortoiseHg and update this post. Thanks a lot for the hint! I think you’re right! I will test it with the latest TortoiseHg and update this post.

I didn't install python binding when i realized there are several libsvn* files inside my "C:\program files\tortoisehg\library.zip". I continued from the step about hgsubversion and everything seems to work fine! Hi,

The convert extension is slightly faster, especially if you are running it on a local SVN repository via the file:/// uri scheme, but over a network you are relying on webdav which is very, very slow (which, by extension, makes Subversion slow).

A possible way to do it would be a mercurial->mercurial conversion on a selected commit range. Hi wes, that’s currently not possible but is on their roadmap for the future.
