A conversion to subversion means losing precision and time. >> Also cvs20hg doesn't appear to grok Hg branches (probably because it >> predates them) and it would be Really Nice(tm) if it did. cvs20hg is deprecated since two years or so. Please try fromcvs instead. There are some bugs left, of course. Last thing it seems I introduced some memory overflow problem, so that a conversion of src now runs out of memory (on a 32bit machine). Up to a couple of months ago this was running very smoothly, see [1]. However I don't think that using named branches in hg is a nice or elegant thing anyways. But that's OT, of course. > Both true.

I suppose you know about fromcvs. I also guess you know that I suggest using git instead of hg. Doesn't produce nasty large index files either :) cheers simon
