convert: default revisions order depends on source

When converting Mercurial repositories you expect the revision numbers to be
preserved, while other sources conversions focus on efficiency.

    (given in a format understood by the source).

    If no destination directory name is specified, it defaults to the
    basename of the source with '-hg' appended. If the destination
    repository doesn't exist, it will be created.

    If <REVMAP> isn't given, it will be put in a default location
    (<dest>/.hg/shamap by default). The <REVMAP> is a simple text file
    that maps each source commit ID to the destination ID for that
    revision, like so:

    --filemap      remap file names using contents of file
 -r --rev          import up to target revision REV
 -s --source-type  source repository type
    --splicemap    splice synthesized history into place
    --branchmap    change branch names while converting
    --datesort     try to sort changesets by date
    --sourcesort   preserve source changesets order

    If no destination directory name is specified, it defaults to the
    basename of the source with '-hg' appended. If the destination
    repository doesn't exist, it will be created.

    By default, all sources except Mercurial will use
    --branchsort. Mercurial uses --sourcesort to preserve original
    revision numbers order. Sort modes have the following effects:
      --branchsort: convert from parent to child revision when
        possible, which means branches are usually converted one after
        the other. It generates more compact repositories.
      --datesort: sort revisions by date. Converted repositories have
        good-looking changelogs but are often an order of magnitude
        larger than the same ones generated by --branchsort.
      --sourcesort: try to preserve source revisions order, only
        supported by Mercurial sources.

    If <REVMAP> isn't given, it will be put in a default location

    revision, like so:

    --filemap      remap file names using contents of file

    --splicemap    splice synthesized history into place

    --branchsort   try to sort changesets by branches
    --datesort     try to sort changesets by date
    --sourcesort   preserve source changesets order
