Hey,

Like you convert-repo interests me, and i've put some hours of work also 
on it. Your patches do clarify the converter classes which i missed at 
the time i hacked into convert-repo.

As i think convert-repo can become a 1st class citizen into the xxx2hg 
converters, i'd like to gather all patches that can make it better:
 - more user friendly, convert-repo can be a one shot tool for some 
   projects migrating to Mercurial. But for some convert-repo is a good
   tool at having a hg mirror of a CVS project so cooperating on the
   project is easy... so the UI could be improved a bit
 - more developer friendly. When someone looks at the convert-repo script
   he sees something clean, but absolutly nothing that can guide him
   porting some xxx SCM converter to the convert-repo infrastructure.

Are you interested on such a project ?
