hg --> svn: AttributeError: 'localrepository' object has no attribute 'update'

[ThurnerRupert]

when trying to run a tailor from a mercurial source to a svn target the first time, it fails, using the following versions, with the error below:

• tailor version: 0.9.27
• hg version: 0.9.3

$ tailor -D -v --configfile mycomp.tailor

AttributeError: 'localrepository' object has no attribute 'update'

what could be the reason for this? the only thing i found on the web is  this from brendan.

The write up by Kevin Cavanaugh has the best details of the error:  http://www.mail-archive.com/tailor@lists.zooko.com/msg00843.html

Since Mercurial's API has been under a bit of flux, tailor needs to have someone assigned to fixing the hg.py file to get support back in place for the current hg release.
