How to migrate from Subversion to Mercurial when the trunk/branch/tag structure is a mess?

I'd like to convert a repository from Subversion to Mercurial, but when I initially set up the repository, I did it in the laziest way possible. Over time, the structure continued to morph and deteriorate (it's 5 years old at this point). Nevertheless, I'd like to preserve as much history as possible, even if I have to get dirty and ma...

For research purposes, I copied a SVN repo to my Windows machine using svnsync so I can replay on my machine without loading the actual server.

Is author name in SVN changelog reliable for tracking authorship?

In multi-user environment it's sometimes very useful to know the real author of each changeset in the SVN repository. I see there's "Edit author" in Tortoise SVN.

Best practices with SVN for files that always "change" with no change

We have a project that references files in a Common-directory. Whenever that project is opened or compiled, these files are copied. Because the timestamp changes, Subversion sees that as changes. I only want to commit new changes of the general Common-directory, or actual changes in the project. Not the auto-copies that the compiler perf...
