Migrate from CVS to Mercurial: Separating projects

We have a CVS repository with years of development history and 3 projects under one project (CVS folder). Those should be different repositories in a Mercurial repo. They are in the following scheme:

Project
---Sub Project 1
---Sub Project 2
---Sub Project 3

  1. Is there a way to automate this during the cvs2hg process?
  2. If not, what would be the Mercurial process to separate each sub project while keeping history (if possible).
Solution

  • Simply run cvs2hg three times, each time pointing it at a project subdirectory within your CVS repository; e.g.,

    cvs2hg [OTHER-OPTIONS...] $CVSROOT/Project/SubProject1

    Write the results into three separate Mercurial repositories.
