I'm trying to convert a CVS repository to mercurial but can't get it to work. I start with a clean checkout: cvs -d :sspi;username=xxx;hostname=yyy.local:/cvsrepos checkout repo Which works fine I then do: hg convert . But it fails with: assuming destination .-hg initializing destination .-hg repository connecting to :sspi;username=xxx;hostname=yyy.local:/cvsrepos abort: unexpected response from CVS server (expected "Valid-requests", but got 'E cvs [server aborted]: Root :sspi;username=xxx;hostname=yyy.local:/cvsrepos must be an absolute pathname\n') I'm running cvsnt on windows 7 Edit: Investigated this a bit more and it seems like mercurial starts a local server cvs server and then communicates with that instance instead of the remote server. I base this on the following observations: I created a cvs.bat file that sends the command line arguments to a file. The file shows the argument "server". process monitor shows that hg.exe tries to open the file C:\cvstest\:sspi;username=xxx;hostname=yyy.local:\cvsrepos which of course fails. Can it be that hg does not understand the sspi connection string? Edit 2: Not a solution but I found a workaround: Copy the complete remote repository to my machine and: cvs -d :local:\localcopyofrepo checkout repo hg convert repo Everything worked fine
