My working config:

[DEFAULT]
verbose = False
encoding = UTF-8
encoding-errors-policy = ignore

[project]
target = hg:target
start-revision = BRANCHNAME-2_0 INITIAL
root-directory = /path/to/clones/cvsmodulename.BRANCHNAME-2_0
state-file = tailor.state
source = cvs:source
subdir = .
patch-name-format =

[hg:target]
repository = /path/to/repos/melbourne/cvsmodulename.BRANCHNAME-2_0

[cvs:source]
module = directory/modulename
repository = /path/to/cvsroot


...though looking at it now I am not convinced that

[hg:target]
repository = /path/to/repos/melbourne/cvsmodulename.BRANCHNAME-2_0

is working correctly. I do a clone from 
/path/to/clones/cvsmodulename.BRANCHNAME-2_0 after importing from cvs.

Identifiers and paths have been changed but the config is otherwise correct.

Changesets in the target repo always start at the branching point. 
Everything before that is a snapshot when it gets to HG.
