-    This will take a while.
+    This will take a Good While (lots of hours), and in some cases can take a Very Long Time for just one changeset (I gave up on r11505).[[BR]]
+    ALTERNATIVELY:
+    1. Clone the [http://bitbucket.org/django/django/ official Django hg mirror] in the normal way, using hg 1.5 or greater.
+    2. Edit .hg/hgrc to say:
+    {{{
+default = svn+http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/
+    }}}
+    3. Do `hg svn rebuildmeta`.  This works because the official Django mirror was been created by hgsubversion, and is updated only by hgsubversion.
+
  3. Use normal hg commands to make commits, switch branches, push back to the subversion repository etc. Remember to use `hg rebase --svn`, and not `hg merge`.
