Michael,
I've been wondering why you were so quiet.
I think the best way to create a Mercurial repository for liblouis would
be to set up a new googlecode page with a slightly different name, say
hgliblouis The recent googlecods pages have features that the old ones
don't. After the repository was set up, I could get a clone of the empty
repository. I have already created a directory of the liblouis project,
minus the svn hidden directories. After doing the clone I would just add
this directory, comit and push. We would lose history, of course, but I
won't wory about that unless people convince me that it will make a
difference. Of course, we would then have to link the new page to the
old one in some way.

Personally I would be for that change to mercurial. For your interest,
there are tools which can create mercurial repositories from an SVN
repository so you do not loose history in the move. Refer to the
mercurial website for details on some of them. If you want I could
probably do this for you.

Right now I can't commit to the liblouis svn repository. The reason is
stillunder investigation. Both liblouisutdml and BrailleBlaster are on
Mercurial repositories. I have come to like Mercurial better than
Subversion. The move would not be difficult, and the commands are quite
similar. Getting a working copy is simpler, using the clone command.
What do you think?
