Thanks to a power failure yesterday, I don't know exactly what command
I used.  Some I'm starting over since the conversion doesn't take too long.

However, when I use the command you give above, the resulting repo is
still missing files.

For the record, here is exactly what I'm doing.

# Fresh clone into /tmp.
cd /tmp
hg clone http://clocc.hg.sourceforge.net:8000/hgroot/clocc/clocc
# The file clocc/src/f2cl/src/f2cl7.l exists

# The map file
cat /tmp/f2cl.map
include src/f2cl
rename src/f2cl .

# Do the conversion
hg convert --filemap=f2cl.map /tmp/clocc /tmp/f2cl

# When conversion is done, clone the new repo
hg clone /tmp/f2cl f2cl-new

# Now the file f2cl/src/f2cl7.l doesn't exist.  But it is in the
# original clocc/src/f2cl/src directory.

Since the clocc repo is itself a conversion from CVS to mercurial, I
guess I can go back to the CVS version and do the conversion of just
the subdirectory tree I want.  (Assuming that the CVS repo still has
the same changes as the hg repo has.  I'll have to check to be sure.)
