Converting a cvs repository to mercurial after cvs checkout .

[Ryan Turnbull]

Hello Mathieu,
     I have tried two versions with no success.  The two versions are....

     Mercurial Distributed SCM (version 1.5)

     When I do a checkout from cvs under at directory..
     mkdir repository
     cd repository
     cvs checkout .

     Now I have the repository I want to convert.

     In the above version I get the following on hg convert repository 
/home/repohg

     It goes through the scanning of source...

     collecting CVS rlog information.
<numerous rlog entries here>

     It gets to the end of that process, then does...
     sorting...
     converting...
     9581 Initial revision
     cvs server: cvs checkout: cannot find module 
`./home/javacvs/xxxxxx/XXXXX/XXXX/xxxxxxxxx-xxxxxx.xml' - ignored

     abort: unknown CVS response: error

     On version Mercurial Distributed SCM (version 1.5+125-8f4c95368313) 
I get the following....

     initializing destination /home/javahg repository
     connecting to :pserver:blahblah at blah:/home/javacvs
     scanning source...
     collecting CVS rlog
     cvs [rlog aborted]: received abort signal
     cvs: recurse.c:642: do_recursion: Assertion `strstr (repository, 
"/./") == ((void *)0)' failed.
     0 log entries
     creating changesets
     0 changeset entries
     sorting...
     converting...

Let me know if you need anything further.....

Thanks
