Import TFS History into Mercurial (hg)

mercurial, mercurial-convert, svn, tfs, version-control

Solution

Here's a blog post on converting TFS to Mercurial from someone who has converted many projects: http://blog.eworldui.net/post/2010/03/16/Mercurial-Conversion-from-Team-Foundation-Server.aspx

Problem

Has anyone had any success importing TFS 2008 history into a new Mercurial repository? The only possible solution I've found to date is to go TFS -> svn -> hg using tfs2svn and then using the Convert Extension but I haven't tried this yet.
