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,
