Yes.  There is a cron job that sucks the changes from the CVS every hour 
and adds them to the Mercurial repository.  In principle one could push 
changes onto the latter, but there is no practical way to put them back 
into the CVS.

We are still working on getting more Isabelle people aquainted with 
Mercurial, so that we can get rid of CVS eventually.
