Hi,
I am slowly moving all my projects from several SCM into GIT.

I am at converting all my CVS managed project for instance and I miserably failed at understanding what is happening.

So I installed CVSps as per requested (it is version from Yann Dirson's repository).

I prepared a local and clean checkout from my CVS.
Then I ran git-cvsimport like this:
 git cvsimport -v -A /tmp/author-conv -a -i -C <directory> <cvs module>
I think it finishes successfully but here are the latest messages:
Generating pack...
Done counting 202 objects.
Deltifying 202 objects.
 100% (202/202) done
Writing 202 objects.

Removing unused objects 100%...
Done.
DONE; creating master branch

Then I went back to <directory> and I just did 'ls'. Directory is empty (except the .git directory).

git status reports this:

# Changed but not updated: # (use "git add/rm <file>..." to update what will be committed) # # deleted: AUTHORS # SKIPPED FILES HERE STILL MARKED AS deleted # no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")

git branch, git tag -l /et caetera/ have all I got onto my CVS.

What can I do to fix that and have "real" content into my project ?
