In fact you should merge heads two by two.
But it will not resolve your problems if your CVS modules share common tags.
Indeed you'll have to merge tags file which becomes not possible for the
moment where several branches in your new hg repository share some tags.

I'm still looking for a way of doing  what you are trying to achieve.
I've tried by checking out all modules at once (cvs co .) but then hg
convert fails.

 Any tip which would allow to convert several CVS modules in one hg
repository *while preserving* tags across modules ?
