[uracoli-devel] Change from CVS to Mercurial

[uracolix]

Hallo all,

I plan to do the change from CVS to Mercurial within the next days.

Please commit your changes (without breaking the mainline ;-) )
until October 12, 2011.

On thursday (2011-10-13) I'll take the final CVS-snapshot, convert it to 
Mercurial and sent it to Savannah.

During this time, please do not commit anything.

Inparallel I'll open a ticket at Savannah to make the CVS repo readonly.


Attached is a description of the test conversion, which I did on
my PC. If you see there any mistakes, please send a mail.

Best Regards and happy committing, Axel
