Cool, I've ported it over to svn.

I'm okay with that. Right now I can't push my reconciled hg repo though
because line ending changes were committed to various files in hg but not
svn. I don't think they're appropriate frankly, but rolling them back causes
hg push to fail.
Antoine suggested whitelisting those files in .hgeol, which I'll investigate.
