   ### git
   
 Conversion of all modules to git succeeded using fromcvs togit. The resulting git repository of src contains several errors where files have a wrong version (eg in hunt/Makefile the contents of the file on the vendor branch appear as tip of the master branch, which is quite wrong).  Conversion of all modules to git succeeded using fromcvs togit.

 There have been no reports of errors in the other modules; this may be due to a lack of testing.  There have been no reports of errors in the other modules; this may be due to a lack of testing.
   
   ### hg
   
   Conversion of src failed. Afair the rest worked when using Mercurial 1.3.*. Alas, fromcvs tohg is not compatible with Mercurial 1.4 which is in pkgsrc now and is the version to use with Python 2.6 (afair). Two identified problems:
   <pre>
           self.ui = ui.ui(interactive = False)
   </pre>
   wants to be
   <pre>
           self.ui = ui.ui()
           self.ui.setconfig('ui', 'interactive', 'off')
   </pre>
   in /usr/pkg/share/fromcvs/tohg.py line 10 (easily fixed, obviously)
   and
   <pre>
           n = self.hgrepo.commit(files = files,
                                  text = text,
                                  user = user,
                                  date = "%s 0" % date,
                                  p1 = p1,
                                  p2 = p2,
                                  extra = {'branch': branch})
   </pre>
   needs to be replaces with something that works with the 1.4 commit that looks like this:
   <pre>
       def commit(self, text="", user=None, date=None, match=None, force=False,
                  editor=False, extra={}):
   </pre>
   which is where I remembered that I wasn't planning to learn Python this week.
   
   Next try: hg convert on pkgsrc
   <pre>

   helps it to cope with the output of cvs rlog -N -r1.66 pkgsrc/databases/rrdtool/Makefile (that's the easy one)
   but then it tries to parse the output of (eg) cvs rlog -N -r1.19 pkgsrc/graphics/dcraw/Makefile and it's not clear
   to me how it could hope to get that one right just from cvs rlog, and all alternatives are going to be rather tedious
   and I'm still not planning to learn Python this week.
