Good that we don't just have remote access on exit1.org ;)

I could setup an hg on exit1.org and convert the cvs to it. At first I 
would try a direct convert (since I had no bad experience with that till
now at our company, although I must admit I just did this with a few 
repositories yet). If I encounter any problems with that, I could do the
intermediate step with svn as well.

Once the hg on exit1.org is set up you can decide how to use it: as a 
primary or secondary repository pushing branches between exit1.org and 
berlios as you like.

If that's Ok with you I probably can start tomorrow with that, at the 
latest next weekend.
