Take a look at

http://hg.python.org/pymigr/

What I *think* is missing is all the hook scripts (but you would need to 
check with Dirkjan whether they are already somewhere).

In theory, I would expect that you can run this migration suite 
yourself, and get a working installation - but I never tried myself.

See also PEP 385, which is the master plan. I'm not sure whether the
approach to branches has been approved (or who could really approve it);
I just notice that the current conversion produces a ridiculously large
repository (which fails to download with older versions of hg because
of size).

On the meta level, what seems to be missing as well is a clear view on
what the status is - so if you manage to get it working somehow, don't
forget to post what you think the status is.
