«Just for fun» I converted the actual CVS to Mercurial, without any
apparent problem. I just wanted to let you know this, in case you are
considering a change to a more modern version control system seriously.

Ah BTW, since people argue, changing to git is preferrable since it
attracts more developers, here is an interesting analysis by Lars
Ingebrigsten, the author of gnus, about GNU emacs when switching to git.

conclusion: no benefit.
