Well, I think I can live with that.  So it probably boils down to a doc-
umentation problem.  Examples in, for instance  "Mercurial: The Definit-
ive Guide" (at least in the 2009 edition)  suggest that the "hg convert"
command works  with remote repositories  (well, at least with Subversion
repositories).   And in fact it DOES still work with Subversion, provid-
ed you have the Subversion Python bindings installed.

Sincerely,
  Rainer
