cvs2git failed in pass2 ...

[supadhyay]

Hi All,

I am using cvs2svn  tool to convert my CVS repository to GIT. I have
download the "cvs2svn-2.3.0.tar.gz" file.

I have created git user to install GIT and then using the same user (git) I
try to run "./cvs2git" command  below way.

./cvs2git \  --blobfile=/home/git/tmp/git-files/git-blob.dat \ 
--dumpfile=/home/git/tmp/git-files/git-dump.dat \    --username=git   
/opt/source/Repo_from_CVS/VD

It took around 10 mins to finish pass1 and for pass 2 it raised the warnings
and messages like below 
==============================================================
Done

Time for pass1 (CollectRevsPass): 526.3 seconds.
----- pass 2 (CleanMetadataPass) -----

Thanks in advance...

Hi All,

Can any one know how to overcome this error... I tried with --encoding=UTF8
but the same error.

I also gave a try with --fallback-encoding but seems like its exclude
comments from their output as shown below:

Hi supadhyay

How did the complete command work?

cvs2git  --encoding=ascii --encoding=utf8 --encoding=utf16 --encoding=latin

or 

cvs2git --encoding=ascii --encoding=utf8 --encoding=utf16 --encoding=latin
*+ parameters of git*

?

Tks
:)
