I have been trying all day today to persuade either tailor or cvs2darcs to do the conversion, and failed miserably. I believe there is some kind of character-encoding problem causing tailor to misinterpret the contents of the CVS repo, leading to only 16 patches of history, instead of 2393. Meanwhile cvs2darcs gives me a completely empty darcs repo (after a very long time, and lots of warning messages).
Does the Hugs CVS repo contain any strange encoding in commit messages? Neither ASCII nor UTF-8 seems to be accepted, whereas Latin-1 is accepted but gives incorrect results.
Do you have a log of what you did in detail? I don't have a black belt in using tailor or cvs2darcs, but perhaps I have some time in the next few days to play around a bit... Cheers, S.
