Hi,
I have a folder which is under both CVS and mercurial (HG). I would
want HG to take precedence in vc-mode so that I get to execute all vc
commands using mercurial as back end.
I tried reordering the list "vc-handled-backends" as:
(setq vc-handled-backends (nconc '(HG) (delq 'HG vc-handled-backends)))
It did not work. Any help would be really appreciated. I have this
rather strange setup as I checkout from CVS and use Mercurial to track
all my changes (as a mercurial queue).

When and where did you this?
In .emacs or *scratch*?
When you open a file, vc makes an association between the file
and one backend. So if the association is already established,
evaluating (setq vc-handled-backends (nconc '(HG) (delq 'HG vc-handled-backends)))
is too late.
To check the association on a file, see `vc-registered' in vc-hooks.el.

I did it in my .emacs file. The contents of the list are as follows:
(HG RCS CVS SVN SCCS BZR Arch MCVS)

I'd use `append' to avoid odd corner cases (e.g. if you load your .emacs
several times). But other than that, it should work.

It's a bit unusual, but nowhere near strange. It's one of the most common
ways to track an external CVS branch in a local branch (using either
Mercurial, Arch, Monotone, Git, ...).
