I'd like to move from Subversion to Mercurial, and specificially to start hosting all my private stuff on Bitbucket. I'd like to know how adapt a large SVN repo to hg repos. I'm new to mercurial, too, but I think I understand the basics.
I've currently got a single, large SVN repo. I have over 150 projects, most of them very small, all arranged in subdirectories. There's not much more than 100mb of content including history. What I'd like to do, I think, is put them all on bitbucket as individual private repos, but then as some of them mature I'll make them public.
The only way to do that, it seems to me, is to buy the $100/month team plan -- but that's way out of my price range and I'm really looking to replace my $7/month SVN hosting plan; so it's the Pro or Amateur plans or nothing.
Am I a hopeless case, or there some way for someone with lots of small projects to use bitbucket/mercurial effectively?
Many thanks.
