Hi Git gurus!

I'm trying to `git cvs import` this cvs repository http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/compiere

When trying to import module "utils" as follows:

git cvsimport -v -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/compiere -C utils utils

I have a problem about "non-existent revision" of a file:

cvs_direct initialized to CVSROOT /cvsroot/compiere cvs rlog: Logging utils request for non-existent rev 1.1 in file .project DONE; creating master branch cp: cannot stat `/home/cvs/compiere/utils/.git/refs/heads/origin': No such file or directory usage: git-read-tree (<sha> | -m [-u | -i] <sha1> [<sha2> [<sha3>]]) checkout failed: 256

In fact rev 1.1 of .project in main branch shows "file removed" (http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/compiere/utils/.project?rev=1.2&view=log)

The same happen with some other module of this project.

I'm running git --version is: 0.99.9.GIT

and cvsps --version is: 2.1

Any clue in how to solve this kind of problem? Is it possible to skip this file(s) and maybe include them later "manually"?

Thanks in advance and best regards,
--
