They actually also come with the parallel tool for hg=>svn  
(hgpushsvn), but it is not installed by default (still not production- 
ready). I have used hgpushsvn with good luck on a few projects, but  
of course you need to keep in mind the fact that you are working with  
a dual working directory (svn and hg) and what that implies.
