Converting a Repository, Starting at a Specific Revision

[Nathan Goldbaum]

"hg help convert" mentions the following config option, which can be passed
as a --config argument to "hg convert":

convert.hg.revs
                  revset specifying the source revisions to convert.

Of course that will only work if you are converting from a mercurial
repository.
