I copied CVSHEAD and myrepo dirs from the cvs server to /home/ibr/tmp and issued the following command: git-cvsimport -p x -k -o cvshead -d/home/ibr/tmp -C zzz myrepo/drv It fails with the following messages: Initialized empty Git repository in /home/ibr/tmp/zzz/.git/ fatal: Not a valid object name refs/heads/t20050127-arm read-tree failed: 32768 t20050127-arm is a branch that exists not for all files under myrepo/drv. How can I import this repo? I use git 1.5.3.6-1.1 from Debian unstable and cvsps 2.1-2 from Debian stable on a Debian testing/unstable system.
