[issue3311] convert: "invalid mode or filename" since 2.1.1

[Christoph]

New submission from Christoph <xrstf-misc at yahoo.com>:

Hi all,

after upgrading from TortoiseHg 2.3 to 2.3.1, the included hg distribution 
(2.1 -> 2.1.1) stopped being able to convert repositories.

Steps to reproduce:

  C:\> hg version
  Mercurial Distributed SCM (version 2.1.1)

  C:\> hg init test
  C:\> hg convert test test2
  initializing empty test2 repository
  abort: invalid mode ('r') or filename

It doesn't matter, what options or which repository I use. Reverting to hg 
2.1 solves the problem. Oddly enough, I couldn't find the string "or 
filename" anywhere inside the hg source ("invalid mode" occurs one time, but 
doesn't include the "or filename" part of the error message).

System: Win7 x64, system-wide installation of Python 2.6.4 present (if that 
matters)

Regards,
   Christoph
