cvs2git failed in pass2 ...

Hi All,

I am using cvs2svn tool to convert my CVS repository to GIT. I have download the "cvs2svn-2.3.0.tar.gz" file.

I have created git user to install GIT and then using the same user (git) I try to run "./cvs2git" command below way.

./cvs2git \ --blobfile=/home/git/tmp/git-files/git-blob.dat \ --dumpfile=/home/git/tmp/git-files/git-dump.dat \ --username=git /opt/source/Repo_from_CVS/VD

It took around 10 mins to finish pass1 and for pass 2 it raised the warnings and messages like below ============================================================== Done

Time for pass1 (CollectRevsPass): 526.3 seconds.
----- pass 2 (CleanMetadataPass) -----
