CVS Migration Branches are not migrated

[Diego Oliveira]

Hello Heimi,

    The CVS branch conversion is a know problem using the mercurial
extension. The cvsps mechanism that fetches the repository history don't
give all information that one needs to make the accuracy conversion. I been
there, and needed to use the cvs2svn(also for mercurial, not only
subversion) direct in the CVSROOT repository and I got everything OK. Take a
look at http://vc.gerg.ca/hg/cvs2svn, a repository with the functionality I
told.
