Yes, of course. I am referring, of course, to the wiki:

 1) the wiki says "the development version of Mercurial includes a CVS
converter", which seems to imply that some sort of official support was
planned.
 2) convert-repo is first in the list (which is not alphabetic).
 3) It has a very nice manpage style documentation page, which includes
a list of not-yet-complete features.

...which sort of led me to expect that it would, you know, run. :)
Expectations and all that.

Hmm, it's a wiki. I suppose if I feel it's incomplete, I should update
it. :)
