+This set of scripts allows to work locally on Subversion-managed
+projects using the Mercurial distributed version control system.
+
+Why use Mercurial? You can do local (disconnected) work, pull the
+latest changes from the SVN server, manage private branches, submit
+patches to project maintainers, etc. And of course you have fast
+local operations like "hg log", "hg annotate"...
+
+Currenly two scripts are provided:
+
+ * hgimportsvn initializes an SVN checkout which is also a
+ Mercurial repository.
+ * hgpullsvn pulls the latest changes from the SVN repository,
+ and updates the Mercurial repository accordingly. It can
+ be run multiple times.
