Some complicated setups fool it, but if you actually have a normal trunk/tags/branches setup, it should work 99% of the time. It can (for example) convert the old django repository correctly on the first try, whereas git-svn would give up on the tags.

Hmm, well I'm using it with a repo that has standard
trunks/tags/branches setup with two tags in the tags directory and
when I type hg tags it only lists tip (it shows me all the branches,
however). The hgsbuversion documents say, "Changesets that create tags
cannot be pushed to Subversion, as support for creating Subversion
tags has not yet been implemented," so I thought tag support in
general was missing.  Maybe this svn repo I'm working with has other
issues...
