You can do this yourself with the Mercurial @convert@ extension, but you may find it simpler to "ask us to do it for you":mailto:info@soundsoftware.ac.uk.  Just drop us a line, tell us your code.soundsoftware.ac.uk project name, and let us know where your existing repository lives.

You can create a project on this site even if the code itself is hosted somewhere else, if you want to make it easier for other researchers to find your work.  Just include the Homepage link when you create the project, and be sure to include enough of a description to make it clear what the project is about.

If you don't need a repository hosted here, go to your project's Settings and in the "Modules" tab, switch off "Repository".
