This is an alternative way of migrating from SVN to Mercurial using HgSubversion as oppose to using convert extension. It allows you to push changes from local Mercurial repository to both Subversion and Mercurial during the transition period. Install HgSubversion hg clone http://bitbucket.org/durin42/hgsubversion/ <local-path>\hgsubversion Add HgSubversion extension to your main hgrc file [extensions] hgsubversion = <local-path>\hgsubversion\hgsubversion Clone existing subversion repository hg clone http://<username >@<svn-project-path> <local-project-folder> Edit project .hgrc file (/hg/.hgrc) [paths] default = http://<username >@<hg-remote-project-path> svn = http://<username >@<svn-project-path> Create new mercurial project in your remote Hg repository (see Rhodecode ) Pushing the project to remote mercurial repository hg push Pushing to subversio...

This is a sample how to delete data in batches to avoid large transaction log. This is a simpler version of this example when I used 2 tables. DECLARE @MyTable TABLE ( Id int , DateUpdated DATETIME ) INSERT INTO @MyTable SELECT 1,DATEADD(d,-1,GETDATE()) UNION SELECT 2,DATEADD(d,-2,GETDATE()) UNION SELECT 3,DATEADD(d,1,GETDATE()) UNION SELECT 4,DATEADD(d,2,GETDATE()) UNION SELECT 5,DATEADD(d,-3,GETDATE()) UNION SELECT 6,DATEADD(d,-2,GETDATE()) UNION SELECT 7,DATEADD(d,-4,GETDATE()) DECLARE @ date DATETIME SET @ date = GETDATE() PRINT CONVERT ( CHAR (19),GETDATE(),120) +' Deleting data in batches ' WHILE ( Exists ( SELECT 1 FROM @MyTable WHERE DateUpdated < @ date )) BEGIN TRY BEGIN TRAN PRINT CONVERT ( CHAR (19),GETDATE(),120) +' Deleting 2..
