problem converting CVS to Mercurial on Windows

[Jeff Alperin]

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 running Windows 7, 64-bit

·         I’ve installed TortoiseHG and enabled the convert extension.


Any suggestions?

Thanks, --Jeff
