convert: fix bug of wrong CVS path parsing without port number (issue3678)

The cvsps.py:getrepopath suffers from a string parsing bug (it returns
"user@server/path/to/repository" if the CVSROOT is given like this:
":pserver:user@server/path/to/repository" ), which gives returnes the wrong
value becouse cvsps.py fails to strip the prefix from filenames.
With this patch for the same input we get the correct repo path that is:
"/path/to/repository"

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
