None than I can think of.

Probably iterate over all entries in the revlog and inspect the "extra"
field as is done in hglookup?  That way you can build a static mapping
of SVN rev -> hg changeset ID, and save it e.g. to a file.

I'm not sure I understand those two points, but that probably doesn't
matter.
