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.

+    By default, all sources except Mercurial will use

+    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.
