hg convert doesn't recognise trunk/tags/branches from svn repository

Question

I have tried to convert an SVN project to Mercurial using svnsync and then:

mercurial-2.2.2/hg convert --authors ../authors.txt project

as described here (the version of Mercurial supplied by Ubuntu crashed when trying to convert the repository, so I deleted the output and downloaded the latest version of Mercurial instead).

However, the resulting repository has

project/trunk/blah

and

project/tags/1.1/blah

as files in the revisions, instead of recognising the trunk as the default branch, and the tags as tags.

What is the right way to convert it?

Please note: The project was originally stored something like this in SVN (due to developer error):

project/project/trunk

but in recent SVN revisions it is like this:

project/trunk

I assumed that hg convert would look at the file structure in HEAD and deduce the correct structure, but obviously I was wrong.

Add to the command line:

--config convert.svn.trunk=project/trunk --config convert.svn.branches=project/branches --config convert.svn.tags=project/tags
