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,

Hi

I want to import a remote cvs repository to git , here's what I do :

$ mkdir git-test
$ chmod 775 git-test/
$ chmod +s git-test/
$ chmod +t git-test/
$ cd git-test
git-test$ git-cvsimport -k -i -d 
:pserver:anonymous@lib-pkp.lib.sfu.ca:/cvs -C myproj ojs2 -v

output is the following :

Initialized empty Git repository in /home/tux/git-test/myproj/.git/
Running cvsps...

and every time I run this , it stops at the same point and gives that error.

Do you have any idea ?
Thanks in advance .
