git-svn talks to it just fine, so maybe one approach would be to clone
it with git, then use a git-hg converter (assuming such exists; I know
there's one to go the other direction.)

Hi,
I have been following the discussion in this group for (atleast)
creating a Mercurial/GIT repository.
Since, I was very interested in using a mercurial repo of memcached,
I tried "hg convert" which uses standard Subversion Python bindings.
It failed with the various errors.
Subsequent attempts to use svnsync failed with an error that Dustin
Sallings referred to here ( http://www.nabble.com/Re%3A-Developing-memcached%2C-how-should-we-do-it--p14321040.html)
The reason is similar to what is discussed here:
http://forum.joomla.org/index.php?topic=157744.0;wap2 . It happens
because people are attempting to use newer (>1.4) versions of
Subversion to sync with memcached's 1.2.3 version, which does not
support the "REPORT" command.
The problem is that the latest Mercurial releases need newer
Subversion versions (> 1.4) to work nicely with the "hg convert"
utilities.
If anybody has been able to indeed import the entire svn repo,
please tell me how to. Alternatively, is it possible to upgrade
memcached's Subversion version?
thanks
Sandeep
