You can edit this file by going to HgWorkbench – Setings – Extensions

Yes, but in version 2.1.2 there is no .hg/hrc file! Now what?

I believe he means this:
1) In your root folder open .hg/hgrc
2) Make sure that default = is set to a URL with svn+ prepended, EG default = svn+https://www.foo.corp/svn/source

You might want to take a peak at the »subversion« help topic. It should mention the many caveats and gotchas of working with hgsubversion…

Could you please provide more detail on this step? What do you mean by svn+http(s) ?

And here it is:

Add the following to step 3:

If your path contains spaces, don’t worry, the .hgrc can handle that. Do not enclose your path in quotes; this will cause the module to fail to load. Just write your path exactly as:

svn=*SomeFantasticFolder*/hgsubversion

The hint should have been that the error message had the path in quotes, when the error generated does not quote the path, however I doubt anyone would notice that subtlely. Usually paths that contain spaces have to be quoted or escaped, so intuition would suggest quotes are necessary so I believe the instructions should make this point clear.

Ah, if only. Well, sir, what I really want is these thing to work out of the box; but in this world, that’s too much to ask. So I have no choice but to debug my butt off and work on 3 hours sleep because I need this to work. Hours and hours spent; how do you think that makes me feel, especially to be taunted. But whatever, when and if I can find a solution I will post it here so that no-one ever again has to suffer like me.

It seems like you want to hack on mercurial/tortoisehg/hgsubversion.

In that case, please refer to their wiki/mailing lists.

Okay, forget TortiseHg for now; I can confirm it has the python-svn bindings against svn version 1.6.6, a fairly recent revision. Why, when it tries to initialize HgSubversion it fails to import svn is beyond me. It should be running in the context of the python shell defined for Mercurial but fails in the way I described. Seems that only 2 steps are required in theory since you don’t need a stand-alone python any more than you do SVN, but since I’m a python hacker since before 1.5, I like having it around. I just wish I could start an interpreter in the Hg Context or at least have it print out more well defined debug and traceback messages.
