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.

hgsubversion can *read* tags from svn just fine. Pushing tags remains unimplemented, because it would be slightly tricky and nobody seems to care enough to do the work.
