And yes, I have tried cvs2svn to go via svn as well :-( I've been tracking the eCos anoncvs using Mercurial for more than 3 years. At first I was using Tailor for conversion, but I'm currently using the bundled "convert" extension. The main problem for me was always the somewhat strange "grafting" of the 'net' sub-directory into 'packages' using CVS module magic. I worked around that by converting 'net' and 'packages' into separate Mercurial repositories which I then merge (i.e. "hg merge -f") to make my own working repository. A switch of the public CVS repository to Mercurial would be a major improvement.
