problem with cvs conversion

[Jakob Krainz]

Hi.

I tried to check out a copy of the netbsd pkgsrc cvs repository:

  export  CVS_RSH="ssh"
  export CVSROOT="anoncvs at anoncvs.NetBSD.org:/cvsroot/pkgsrc/databases/"
  cvs co -P rrdtool
  hg convert -r 100 rrdtool hg-rrdtool

The conversion failed with the following error message:

** unknown exception encountered, please report by visiting

AssertionError: expected revision number
cvs [rlog aborted]: received broken pipe signal
cvs [rlog aborted]: write error

I think this might be caused by a bug in the cvs part of the convert command.
