Are you saying that Mercurial on Windows has missing features compared
to CVS on Windows? If so, that sounds like a big problem, but I'm
surprised. I would expect that if a project moved from CVS to
Mercurial, both Windows and Linux users would benefit.

Ah, butt is crecord really "upstream"? It is no part of the Mercurial
distribution. It's 3rd-party.
