convert/svn: delegate to svn bindings if HTTP probe fails
convert extension tries to guess the remote repository type with HTTP probes.
Unfortunately, it does not handle authentication or HTTPS handshakes, so regular
svn repositories may be excluded. Instead, when a non-404 error is retrieved,
we keep trying with the svn bindings. The drawback is missing svn bindings will
make the conversion to fail even for non-svn targets. This can be avoided with
--source.
#!/bin/sh
hg init repo
cd repo
echo line 1 > foo
hg ci -qAm 'add foo' -d "1000000 0"
# copy foo to bar and change both files
hg cp foo bar
echo line 2-1 >> foo
echo line 2-2 >> bar
hg ci -m 'cp foo bar; change both' -d "1000000 0"
# in another branch, change foo in a way that doesn't conflict with
# the other changes
hg up -qC 0
echo line 0 > foo
hg cat foo >> foo
hg ci -m 'change foo' -d "1000000 0"
# we get conflicts that shouldn't be there
hg merge -P
hg merge --debug

cat bar
