Don't know what selenic is, other than what www.selenic.com says.

But the whole issue was moving clocc from cvs to something else.  Sam
had raised this question a few years ago, but nothing came of it.  With
the recent hack attack on SourceForge, and the recent deprecation of CVS
on SourceForge, we decided to move to another supported version control
system.  (This was all discussed on this mailing list over the last
couple of weeks.)

The selected version control system is hg.  I converted the CVS repo to
hg using cvs2hg and pushed the changes to sourceforge.
