I have worked with reposurgeon for nearly three years and it's the only comprehensive tool, I know of, to achieve lossless copies of a repo in another version control system. It even comes with a companion tool to verify the results and best of all it is a maintained FLOSS project (hosted on a Gitlab instance, btw). I can help if you choose to go this route to have a high-quality conversion using reposurgeon. And AFAIK ESR (the author) himself will also happily help out FLOSS projects like ReactOS when you run into trouble. He did the conversion of Emacs to Git, btw.
Yes, I've actually already mentioned to him that I might have to borrow his Beast to pull off the task. Any help that can come with doing the process should be greatly appreciated :-)
I've been fiddling with locally migrating the ReactOS code from SVN to Mercurial in my spare time for quite a while. I'd be happy to help wherever I can to get ReactOS moved to Hg (or Git, I guess).
