Subject: trouble getting git cvsimport working
Date: Sat, 10 Jan 2009 08:16:02 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <81bfc67a0901100516w10ea77e8n8734713b071d69b9@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

not sure what I'm doing wrong.

actual cvs command

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.gentoo.org:/var/cvsroot co gentoo-x86

what I'm trying

git cvsimport -a -v -d
:pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.gentoo.org/var/cvsroot/ gentoo-x86 -C
portage

Initialized empty Git repository in /home/portdev/cvs/portage/.git/
Running cvsps...
parse error on third token
WARNING: malformed CVS version: no data
WARNING: malformed CVS version str: (UNKNOWN CLIENT)
WARNING: Your CVS client version:
[(UNKNOWN CLIENT)]
and/or server version:
[(UNKNOWN SERVER)]
are too old to properly support the rlog command.
This command was introduced in 1.11.1.  Cvsps
will use log instead, but PatchSet numbering
may become unstable due to pruned empty
directories.

sh: cvs: command not found
DONE; creating master branch
fatal: refs/heads/origin: not a valid SHA1
fatal: master: not a valid SHA1
fatal: You are on a branch yet to be born
checkout failed: 32768

help would be appreciated.
