Most likely this original repo is not on your local \nmachine. Be aware, that the import of a large, remote CVS repo can \nrun several days.\n\nGoogling after git cvsimport will give you some examples.\n\nBest regards,\n\n-- \nThomas Koch, Software Developer\n\nYoung Media Concepts GmbH\nSonnenstr. 4\nCH-8280 Kreuzlingen\nSwitzerland\n\nTel    +41 (0)71 / 508 24 86\nFax    +41 (0)71 / 560 53 89\nMobile +49 (0)170 / 753 89 16\nWeb    www.ymc.ch\n"}]}
