+  # repo; we'd have to mirror to a local repo first.  Incremental
+  # conversions do work though.  The hg-git plugin will convert
+  # directly from remote repositories, but not via all schemes
+  # (e.g. https is not currently supported).  It's probably easier to
+  # use git itself to clone locally and then convert or hg-git from
+  # there.
+  # 
+  # We can of course convert directly from remote Subversion repos,
+  # but we need to keep track of that -- you can ask to convert into a
+  # repo that has already been used (for Mercurial) and it'll do so
+  # happily; we don't want that.
+  #
+  # Converting from a remote Hg repo should be fine!
+  #
+  # One other thing -- we can't actually tell the difference between
+  # the various SCM types based on URL alone.  We have to try them
+  # (ideally in an order determined by a guess based on the URL) and
+  # see what happens.
