Tested that it builds/runs/installs and solves this problem.
______________________________
There appears to be an incompatibility between mercurial 1.0.1-2~hardy1 and python-subversion 1.5.1dfsg1-1ubuntu2 (both in hardy-backports).  Converting an svn repository to hg blows up:

$ hg convert /tmp/vchacks.svn /tmp/vchacks.hg
scanning source...
python: /build/buildd/subversion-1.5.1dfsg1/subversion/libsvn_ra/ra_loader.c:977: svn_ra_get_log: Assertion `*path != '/'' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)
** unknown exception encountered, details follow

This is a duplicate of http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=492244.  It was fixed in Debian with 1.0.1-4.
Ubuntu intrepid appears to have the fix already in 1.0.1-5.1.  Vanilla
hardy should not be affected, since it still has Subversion 1.4.  I
think this only affects hardy-backports.

Thanks!
