           Summary: convert of CVSNT fails "No such repository"
          Severity: bug
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Windows
          Reporter: jobramwe at yahoo.com
          Hardware: PC
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
           Version: 2.3
         Component: convert
           Product: Mercurial

Windows 7 x86 version
CVSNT 2.5.03

I am thinking of converting from CVNT to Mercurial
Although I have seen a few old postings on the internet about the bug and ways
around it they all appear to get around the problem by using a local checkout
of the CVS repository, or using tools cvsps which the need to use was surpassed
in verion 1.3! 

I have tried local checkout but I still get an error message. 

The local CVSROOT variable is set 

>set CVSROOT=:local:d:\cvsrepo

I've also tried just d:\cvsrepo

both allow a successful checkout of the module.

D:\ENG\CVS>cvs checkout MyModule\Docs
cvs checkout: Updating MyModule/Docs
U MyModule/Docs/Clocking_structure.m
cvs checkout: Updating MyModule/Docs/DirectIF
U MyModule/Docs/DirectIF/DCM_PLL.m
U MyModule/Docs/DirectIF/SincPlots.m

I then try to convert to mercurial

D:\hgrepo>hg convert d:\ENG\CVS\MyModule d:\hgrepo\MyModule.hg
initializing destination d:\hgrepo\MyModule.hg repository
connecting to :local:d:\cvsrepo
abort: unexpected response from CVS server (expected "Valid-requests", but got
'
E cvs [server aborted]: d:\\cvsrepo: no such repository\n')

It looks as if hg has inserted an addition \ into the repository path.
