Re: [Monotone-devel] Importing remote cvs repositories

[Richard Li]

In CVS history is stored server-side, not client side. So, importing a 
checked out a branch wouldn't work because you don't have any history 
locally. I suppose in theory you could execute a bunch of cvs 
pserver-type commands to get history, but that would be incredibly slow 
and painful.

You could/should just copy over the remote CVS repo files since CVS has 
no database.
