workflow: cvs <-> hg mercurial

[Patrick Drechsler]

Hello,

distributed version control is new to me (I think the idea is
grand). I would like to use it for the following scenario:

I have to work with a CVS repository. And Windows (XPSP2).

Since I am not always connected to the CVS-Repository (and have a
"only-commit-when-functional" policy), I would like to mirror the code
locally. From what I have read distributed version control might solve
the problem.

The only interesting "howto" page I found was (after excluding "git"):

http://wiki.mozilla.org/User:VladVukicevic/Mercurial_Testing

Is this the correct way to go about:

Centralized VC <-> Distributed VC 

?


What is the current state-of-the-art for syncing different version
control systems (cvs/svn/arch/git/hg/ etc)? Which gmane-group should I
read to keep up-to-date?

TIA,

Patrick
