I have just moved my SVN repositories to HG and your instructions were the best. I also fond that https: would not work well and had to disable the authentication. Hg convert worked for me whereas hgconvert from the hgsvn code failed halfway through. You said "Now at this point for me the push worked fine but my local repository had no files in it – despite insisting it was up to date. This may be my lack of knowledge on Mercurial, or it might be a bug, but deleting the myproject directory locally and cloning the remote repo again sorted things out." This happened to me to but then I realised that what you have done is populate your version of the repository not your working directory. All you have to do is hg update and all your files will appear. Thank you so much for the instructions they were very useful.
