Subject: problems with importing from cvs archive
Date: Sat, 1 Dec 2007 22:46:13 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20071202064613.GB25351@venus> (raw)
All,
I'm trying to use git-cvsimport to import from a CVS archive, using:
git-cvsimport -d $CVSROOT
and am getting the following error:
fatal: refs/heads/origin: not a valid SHA1
fatal: master: not a valid SHA1
warning: You appear to be on a branch yet to be born
warning: Forcing checkout of HEAD
fatal: just how do you expect me to merge 0 trees?
checkout failed: 256
Is git-cvsimport meant to be universal - ie: work on any given CVS worktree - or do
you need to prep the CVS worktree in any way in order for it to be used?
Or is this just a plain vanilla bug?
Thanks,
Ed
