[issue1649] Convert: CVS module path with leading '.'

[Carsten Grohmann]

New submission from Carsten Grohmann <carstengrohmann at gmx.de>:

Hi,

converting a whole repository fails with:
cvs server: cvs checkout: cannot find module 
`./home/cvs/project_carsten/repository/scripts/cvs.mailloginfo.pl' - ignored

The script exists. I assume the error is the leading '.' It seems '.' means the 
repository name. An absolute path is valid to accessing CVS repos.

It's possibly a logical bug in hgext/convert/cvs.py only. 
line 353: args.append(self.cvsrepo + '/' + name)
Adding a leading '.' to an absolute path converts the path to a relative one.

Steps to reproduce:
===================
1. Checkout a repository with all modules inside. Use the absolute path to the 
repository!
> mkdir cvs
> cd cvs
> cvs -d:pserver:carsten at localhost:/home/cvs/project_carsten/repository 
checkout . 
cvs checkout: Updating .
cvs checkout: Updating CVSROOT
U CVSROOT/checkoutlist
U CVSROOT/commitinfo
U CVSROOT/config
[...]

2. Convert the checkout directories
> /home/carsten/mercurial-1.2.1/hg convert .
assuming destination .-hg
using builtin cvsps
collecting CVS rlog
[...]
1459 changeset entries
