Can you tell me precisely how you converted the Octave CVS archive to
git?

Soon after I wrote that, I ran cvs2svn on the archive, and that worked
relatively quickly. Then I started an hg convert process on that and
after around 20 hours it is still running. It seems to be taking a
long time to process every tag in the archive, and it seems to be
generating a separate set of files (at around 50MB) for each one. I
don't know why it is doing this, as it seems a tag should be nothing
more than a symbolic name for a particular revision.
Has anyone here tried converting the Octave CVS archive to hg? If
not, has anyone here converted other CVS archives to hg? If so, how?
Thanks,
