The documented way to get a backup [1] failed:

  $ rsync -av hg.code.sf.net::p/clisp/clisp .
  receiving incremental file list
  rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (8 bytes received so far) [Receiver]
  rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(226) [Receiver=3.1.1]

But I could get a backup this way:

  $ ssh ha...@sh... tar -C /home/hg/p/clisp -cf - clisp > clisp-hg.tar

With this, I'm ready to move the repository.
