I don't think that I did as there can be a lot of churn there. I think this is a stop-gap measure if you're trying mercurial out. I like mercurial quite a bit better than git, but if I were forced to work with an svn repo today, I'd use the svn-git bindings as they're quite a bit more developed than this method is with mercurial. This is better as a temporary path while you're testing out, or just about to migrate to, mercurial. @Kirk – heh, I actually haven’t done this for about 3 years now, I’ve been working on pure mercurial or git repos, so I’m forgetting if I actually committed the .svn repos.
