Not having used Teamware, I am going to display my ignorance, and make a
wild guess that a child workspace corresponds to a Mercurial subrepository.
 And there are plenty of people here who can advise you on those, which
involves turning on an extension.  There is also a separate concept of a
guest repository, which uses a third-party extension.

But generally speaking, for either of these, I believe you would do the
convert individually on the parent and child and then add the resulting
"child" to the "parent" (that is, add the subrepository to the
superrepository) either with a physical copy or a symbolic link; I'd check
the Mercurial wiki for the extension details, but Martin and Angel can
probably give you more specific assistance.
