unfortunately true, I've asked the same question quite some time ago.

... or replace it with hints for converting the svn repo to hg. I'm
doing this myself for quite some time, and apart from a few caveats, it
works just fine. From my experience, hg is vastly superior to git,
which is simply a usability nightmare, as Dan Berlin discovered when he
worked on setting up the hg mirror.

It would certainly be good to keep this working and promote it,
especially if this could be a complete conversion of the svn repo, not
trunk only.
