It should definitely be a separate repository, repositories tend to be a
smaller unit in hg than in SVN, due to the fact that partial clones/checkouts
are not supported.

I don't think so.  It should not matter from which repository the conversion
is done, especially since there is no shared history at all.

two, excepting that thou then proceed to four. Tabs are right out.
