We're underway. :)

Unfortunately, the process started a little later than planned, and I
significantly underestimated the time that it'll take to transfer the
repositories from the box where the conversion occurred to
hg.pidgin.im (current estimate is that there is about 6.5 hour
remaining on the transfer), so the repositories will not actually be
available on hg.pidgin.im until tomorrow at some point.
