You need to specify the encoding you are using. Please, try something
as
tailor -D -v --source-kind cvs --target-kind hg --repository
:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs/dak --module dak -r INITIAL
--subdir dak --encoding ascii
(or --encoding utf-8)
It works for me. Please, tell me if this is ok for you (so that I close
the bug).
I agreed with you that the error message is not really helpful. I CC the
upstream maintainer so that he can improve this.

Hi,
I am trying to use tailor. I have used (among others) the following
lines:
$ tailor -D -v --source-kind cvs --target-kind hg --repository :pserver:[EMAIL
PROTECTED]:/cvs/dak --module dak -r INITIAL --subdir /tmp/dak
and
$ tailor -D -v --source-kind cvs --target-kind hg --repository :ext:[EMAIL
PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/gnobog --module gnobog-test -r INITIAL --subdir /tmp/gnobog
Both fail with the same error:

I am new to tailor so there may be a misunderstanding on my side. I
have tried with upstream version that fails in the same way. I have
not yet been able to download anything successfully (with different
combinations, like -r HEAD or -r 1.1) from any of the above
repositories.
(From /usr/share/doc/trailor/README.gz) Am I hit by this?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Shortcomings
============
Tailor currently suffers of the following reported problems:
a) It does not handle "empty" CVS checkouts, in other words you cannot
bootstrap a project that has nothing in its CVS upstream
repository, or from a point in time where this condition was true.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Do you have examples where similar commands work? (Is it a bug in
upstream or does it come from the above repositories unsuited to
tailor?).
Thanks and best regards,
Frederic Lehobey
