I did use Tailor, and I've attached the config file that I used to use
to mirror from CVS to Mercurial. Note the use of `start-revision' in
both cases: I.e. you can start with a pre-populated Mercurial repo, but
you have to make sure that Tailor doesn't reply the entire CVS history
from the beginning, but only from the point where CVS and Mercurial
already agree.

Definitely external repos---Alioth allows us to create new ones at will.
Alternatively, named branches within xemacs, but I see no payoff there
at this point. (It's easy to pull an external repo into a named branch
later, should we so desire.)
