Convert or remove old svn branches when migrating to mercurial

We are about to migrate from subversion to mercurial. We have settled for a mercurial workflow with a single repository and two branches (default and stable).

The subversion repository we want to migrate has lots of old feature branches that we do not need anymore.

Should we convert those branches and close them or remove them before the final conversion? Why should we do one or the other?

You can use any way: both are (more or less) usable.

I'll prefer (if you haven't problem with Subversion binding) to use Convert Extension with --filemap option (convert repo-root point), and exclude path/to/not-needed-branch as fastest and easiest way
