Off the top of my head, the following is needed for a successful migration: There's also the issue of how we adapt the current workflow of "svnmerging" between branches when we want to back- or forward-port stuff. In particular, tracking of already done or blocked backports. (the issue being that "svnmerge" is different from what DVCS'es call "merging" :-))

See the PEP about that. I have written a fair amount of details how this would work with Mercurial:
