From ps, grab the whole commandine that is\nused for the cvsps invocation and try to run it manually. cvsps has\nsome debugging flags, I would try adding -x -v to see more output, and\nperhaps try with --no-cvs-direct\n\nThe other thing affecting you is the version of the remote cvs server.\n\ncheers,\n\n\nmartin\n"},{"id":"20953","messageId":"Pine.LNX.4.64.0605292122580.5623@g5.osdl.org","threadId":"4348","inReplyTo":"Pine.LNX.4.63.0605300236270.25988@alpha.polcom.net","subject":"Re: git-cvsimport problem","fromName":"Linus Torvalds","fromEmail":"torvalds@osdl.org","sentAt":"2006-05-30T04:37:17Z","receivedAt":"2006-05-30T04:37:17Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"torvalds@linux-foundation.org","avatar":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1024025?v=4"},"body":"\n\nOn Tue, 30 May 2006, Grzegorz Kulewski wrote:\n> \n> and it looks like it hangs in the middle with message:\n> \n> cvs [rlog aborted]: unexpected '\\x0' reading revision number in RCS file\n> /home/cvsroot/lms/templates/noaccess.html,v\n\nAre you sure that CVS archive isn't corrupted? That sounds like an \ninternal CVS error to me. Doing a \"git cvsimport\" will obviously get every \nsingle version of every single file, so it will inevitably also hit errors \nthat you migt not hit with a regular \"cvs co\" (which will only get the \ncurrent version).\n\nThere's bound to be some \"fsck for CVS\" (since people edit files by hand, \nand mistakes must happen), but I have no idea.\n\nThat said, it's not like we haven't had our share of cvsps issues and \nother things, so who knows..\n\n> and to my understanding does not do anything usefull next. Nothing is imported\n> (there is only nearly empty .git tree).\n\nDo \"git log origin\" to see what has been imported. If a cvsimport is \nbroken in the middle, you'll not get any checked-out state, and your HEAD \nwon't point to anything, but the \"origin\" branch has been created and \ncontains whatever has been imported so far.\n\n\t\t\tLinus\n"}]}
