Hi Alenoosh,
git-cvsimport does not run against a checkout of a CVS repo, but against the
original CVS repo. Most likely this original repo is not on your local
machine. Be aware, that the import of a large, remote CVS repo can
run several days.
Googling after git cvsimport will give you some examples.
Best regards,
