Aside: I don't think you need all those "exclude" directives. From "hg help
convert":

    The default if there are no ``include`` statements is to
    include everything. If there are any ``include`` statements,
    nothing else is included.

"log stream exception" appears to be in the subversion conversion code (
https://selenic.com/hg/file/tip/hgext/convert/subversion.py#l169) - I
thought you were trying to perform an hg-to-hg conversion here?
