Finally my migration from Subversion to Mercurial is done

No more subversion for me. At least not for my pet projects! It took a while to get everything migrated. Why? Well, I am structuring each project to have its own Mercurial repository, which is a split from how you would look at it from a Subversion perspective.

But now I have the ability to share code on a project basis. A big plus in my world. And with Maven2 working with dependencies is easy enough to deal with the additional complexity of one project depending on another project.

If anyone wants to tell me about their own experience of migrating from Subversion to Mercurial, feel free to comment ;)

Well, in my Subversion repository I had one repository and multiple directories each being its own project. In that setup I could check out one project at a time, but I would never have the entire history of the project available to me because of how Subversion works.

Interesting, How is this different from structuring each project to have its own Subversion repository?
