Mercurial: Problem converting Windows cvs repository to mercurial
- by jalperin
I’m trying to convert an existing Windows CVS repository to Mercurial and getting the following response and error:
C:\Windows\system32>hg convert c:\users\jeff\webs\shelter-cvs\shelter
assuming destination shelter-hg
initializing destination shelter-hg repository
connecting to :local:c:\cvs
abort: unexpected response from CVS server (expected "Valid-requests", but got 'E cvs [server aborted]: c:\\cvs: no such repository\n')
Here’s the background:
The repository was created with
TortoiseCVS so I believe it’s
actually cvsnt.
I can properly checkout from the
repository using either the command
line or the TortoiseCVS gui, so I
think it is set up correctly.
I'm trying to convert a working copy,
not the repository itself
I’m running Windows 7, 64-bit
I’ve installed TortoiseHG and enabled
the convert extension.
