Are you using mercurial 5efd447a9b8d or later?

I see the problem both on the local machine on which the svn repo resides, 
accessing through the file:// url, as well as remotely using the svn:// url.

It's possible that the trouble is somehow related to the fact that the trunk I'm 
trying to convert only starts at r139, I don't know.

Does the command I tried using, from the repository I trying to convert, work 
for you?
