hg convert [OPTION]... SOURCE [DEST [MAPFILE]]

Convert a foreign SCM repository to a Mercurial one.

    Accepted source formats:

    - CVS

    - Darcs

    - git

    - Subversion

    Accepted destination formats:

    - Mercurial

    If no revision is given, all revisions will be converted. Otherwise,

    convert will only import up to the named revision (given in a format

    understood by the source).

    If no destination directory name is specified, it defaults to the

    basename of the source with '-hg' appended.  If the destination

    repository doesn't exist, it will be created.

    If <revmapfile> isn't given, it will be put in a default location

    (<dest>/.hg/shamap by default).  The <revmapfile> is a simple text

    file that maps each source commit ID to the destination ID for

    that revision, like so:

    <source ID> <destination ID>

    If the file doesn't exist, it's automatically created.  It's updated

    on each commit copied, so convert-repo can be interrupted and can

    be run repeatedly to copy new commits.

    The [username mapping] file is a simple text file that maps each source

    commit author to a destination commit author. It is handy for source SCMs

    that use unix logins to identify authors (eg: CVS). One line per author

    mapping and the line format is:

    srcauthor=whatever string you want

    The filemap is a file that allows filtering and remapping of files

    and directories.  Comment lines start with '#'.  Each line can

    contain one of the following directives:

      include path/to/file

      exclude path/to/file

      rename from/file to/file

    The 'include' directive causes a file, or all files under a

    directory, to be included in the destination repository.  The

    'exclude' directive causes files or directories to be omitted.

    The 'rename' directive renames a file or directory.  To rename

    from a subdirectory into the root of the repository, use '.' as

    the path to rename to.

options:

 -A --authors      username mapping filename

 -d --dest-type    destination repository type

    --filemap      remap file names using contents of file

 -r --rev          import up to target revision REV

 -s --source-type  source repository type

    --datesort     try to sort changesets by date

use "hg -v help convert" to show global options
