This is typically caused by the inability of cvsps to handle complicated
CVS repositories or by corruption in your CVS repository.
If you are doing a one-time conversion, try using cvs2git/cvs2svn [1].
It is capable of handling more complicated CVS repositories.
Even if you need incremental conversion, you might want to try cvs2git
anyway, as it might give you a better error message if your CVS
repository is corrupt in some way.
