Hi

I'm trying to convert a CVS repository to GIT (1.5.5.1 on Intel Mac OS X 10.5.2) using the following:

[ram@mimir ~]$ git cvsimport -v -d :local:/Users/ram/test_cvs -C glue.git glue
Initialized empty Git repository in /Users/ram/glue.git/.git/

Fetching glue/ldbd.py   v 1.1
Unknown: error

How can I get a more verbose error message to try and fix what's going wrong here?

Cheers
