Subject: git-cvsimport: all my files are marked deleted ?
Message-ID: <200703101809.l2AI9lin005409@localhost.localdomain>

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.

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
?

Regards,
