hg convert in mercurial 1.2.1

1. Upgraded to 1.3
2. I really don't know what an incremental conversion is, so ... I will not
delete de cvsps, because I have no idea on the impact here.
3. Copied the repository local, tried - same result :(
4. ssh cvs at 192.168.163.4 /bin/true - not printing anything, I mean just
normal connecting, so I guess this ruled out too.
I am going to give a shot to run it on the server machine and I will let you
know.
Thank you,
Eugene.
