Clone Subversion to Mercurial Fails with 'unknown exception'
Problem
An 'Unknown Exception' error message appears when cloning Subversion. An error appears:
** unknown exception encountered, please report by visiting
** http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/BugTracker
** Python 2.6.1 (r261:67515, Jun 24 2010, 21:47:49) [GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5646)]
** Mercurial Distributed SCM (version 1.7+20101101)
** Extensions loaded: rebase, progress, mq, transplant, extdiff, graphlog, hgsubversion
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/hg", line 38, in <module>
mercurial.dispatch.run()
[...]
assert self.svn_url.startswith(self.root)
AssertionErrorCause
This occurs when using an SSH URL with a 'double slash' format to specify a path from the root, like this:
svn+ssh://user@server.com//home/svn/myproject hgsubversion doesn't like the double-slash.
Resolution
To avoid this problem, remove the doubleslash in the root path, like this:
svn+ssh://user@server.com/home/svn/myprojectThe repository should then clone successfully.
