[issue2115] hg convert (cvs) failed: wrong repository path

[Ivan Blazhko]

New submission from Ivan Blazhko <ivan.blazhko at gmail.com>:

Trying to convert external CVS repository to Mercurial.

MacOS 10.6.2;
CVS client 1.11.23 installed from macports.
Mercurial version 1.5 installed from macports;

Following steps from 
http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/ConvertExtension#Converting_from_CVS :

1. Checkout

$cvs -d :pserver:user at 192.168.1.12/acme/projects/AC1234 -z 5 co docs
cvs checkout: Updating docs
...

2. Convert

$ hg convert docs docs.hg
initializing destination docs.hg repository
connecting to :pserver:user at 192.168.1.12/acme/projects/AC1234

396 Initial revision
cvs server: cvs [checkout aborted]: there is no repository 
/acme/projects/AC1234/acme

abort: unknown CVS response: error


Last part in the repository path from error message is incorrect, path 
should be /acme/projects/AC1234/docs

I tried to enable warnings from cvsps by modifying .hgrc:

[convert]
cvsps = cvsps -A -u --cvs-direct

but this makes no difference, console output is the same.

If there is some other way to get more debug information, please let me 
know.

Thanks.
