Many thanks!

With this we now have a basic starting workflow, reported from real-life 
usage. It should provide a good starting point for all those, who just want to 
try out Mercurial.

This one sounds damn useful! 

I just forwarded it to a freind of mine, who's also feeling the pain of having 
to use CVS :)

Why don't you convert changes to one repo, and then clone off feature feature 
repos and just "hg export" the changes from there? 

repos/
    cvs/
    converted/
    feature1/
    feature2/

Then you can just do "hg export" in feature1/ and get a patch you can apply 
directly to cvs. 

(the pbranch extension should allow using this workflow with a single repo for 
several patches instead of one per feature)

What did you change to improve the export? 


Many thanks again for sharing your workflows! 

Best wishes,
