It is done. You should have both database and database-postgresql history
there, albeit with some caveats (see below).

Is "hg convert" supposed to follow files across file copies?  It seems that
didn't work.  Example, the current "main/database/INDEX" was a copy of a
previous "main/database-postgresql/INDEX" file:

    $ svn log -v main/database/INDEX
    [...]

But when checking the mercurial repository, even with '--follow', it
does not go in there.  The first changeset from that file is the one
above.
