I've got the mercurial -> CVS part working now, so I started trying to go from cvs -> mercurial.
Here I have a problem: tailor uses the CVS command

cvs -f -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs rlog -r:HEAD -b glassfish-corba

to fetch the updates in the remote repository.  Unfortunately dev.java.net has a problem
and returns:

cvs rlog: Logging glassfish-corba
lock.c:223: failed assertion `strncmp (repository, current_parsed_root->directory, strlen (current_parsed_root->directory)) == 0'
cvs [rlog aborted]: received abort signal
cvs [rlog aborted]: received abort signal
lock.c:223: failed assertion `strncmp (repository, current_parsed_root->directory, strlen (current_parsed_root->directory)) == 0'

Googling on this problem seems to indicate that this is a known (and annoying) problem on
dev.java.net, which seems unlikely to be fixed any time soon.

Could tailor use cvs log instead, perhaps preceded by cvs checkout into a temporary
directory, when dealing with a CVS repository that does not support cvs rlog?

Thanks,

Ken.
