There are many interesting points to consider, when planning this sort of conversion, though. For example, converting the *entire* history of the src/ tree may create workspace metadata files up to 400-500 MB. Do we *really* want to keep all of this in Hg, or is it sufficient to import a 'flag day' snapshot in Hg and incrementally update that from the commits to CVS? If you are interested in this sort of thing, please email me privately, or let's start a thread in *one* list about conversions and what we aim for. An even better idea would be for people who are interested to go through the web pages at: and then email me or one of the developers who have edited these pages, so we can keep updating the information there. PS: Cross-posting to two lists (current and hackers), somehow doesn't feel right. Can we at least drop -current please?
