I dont think I follow why people think its that hard to convert the
FreeBSD src tree to some other RCS with history, branches and tags
I have a FULL CVS conversion to a mercurial tree converted from a
February 1, 2008 CVS snapshot. I also have a Full CVS converted to
Subversion. And they have been to the best of my determinations thru
ongoing testing fully converted. Id be more then happy to have others
double check the integrity of both trees and see if something got
missed. I seem to think this is doable. Seeing as Ive done it. And
honestly Mercurial just rocks. Id prefer to host it externally if
someone had some space, over all both trees consume space but not that
incredibly awful. Any takers for testing?
ok, so how do you pull revision 1.x.1.1 of ng_base.c from mercurial?
(no, really I would like to know).
One problem is tha tyour revision x of a file bears no relationship to
my version x or the file. which makes comments like
"that bug was fixed in revision x of that file. Make sure you
have at least that revision" really hard to do.
And you need to make a complete clone of the repo to play with a
different branch of one file. You can't check out subtrees.

FreeBSD as base that would allow better teams cooperation and easy code
merging between projects/branches ?
Pretty much any post-CVS VCS will do that. But if you want a good
merge facility, Perforce's are - well, after getting used to them,
everything else feels like throwing your code against the wall and
hoping the right parts stick. I talked to one of the git developers
about a year ago, and they were thinking about adding a guided merge
inspired by what Perforce does.
I do trust you on Perforce being a strong contender for the job, but,
unfortunately, looking at their licensing terms for OSS projects I do get
some second thoughts. Perhaps that's why FreeBSD did not migrate mainstream
sources over to P4 yet ;)...
