Subject: cvs2git migration - cloning CVS repository
Message-ID: <286817520902020624y7f4c2942l34fafc0fe0fa0b48@mail.gmail.com>

Hi everyone

I'd like to clone a CVS repository to a local machine in order to
prepare it for a migration to git. I tried:

$git cvsimport -p x -v -d
:pserver:mylogin@cvs-server:/cvs/cvsrepository cvsmodule
AuthReply: I HATE YOU
$git cvsimport -p x -v -d
:pserver:anonymous@cvs-server:/cvs/cvsrepository cvsmodule
AuthReply: E Fatal error, aborting.

I haven't found much info concerning the 'I HATE YOU'. So I'd like to
ask you if I'm right:
(I can't talk about this with my cvs-server administrator. He's a kind of dumb)

- git cvsimport works only using 'anonymous' account. So my real login
name won't work?
- 'AuthReply: E Fatal error, aborting.' means that the cvs-server does
not accept anonymous connections?

Is there any other way how to get the cvs repository to my local machine?

thx a lot

Bost
