Converting a SVN project containing tags to Mercurial

Question

I am attempting to use the hg convert Mercurial command against an SVN repository that has a trunk and some tags (but no branches.) The SVN folder layout looks like this:

Foo
  tags
    1.00a
    1.00b-test
  trunk

Although the import succeeds, it would appear I am only gettting the trunk and the tags are nowhere to be seen in the Hg repository. Issuing hg tags or hg branches doesn't show them.

Am I doing something wrong here?

Answer 1

Try explictly passing in the directory containing the tags when running hg convert:

--config convert.svn.tags=tags            (directory name)
    specify the directory containing tags

from hg help convert. If that doesn't do it, what's the exact covert command line you're using? Is there anything in the .hgtags file after you run?
