files missing after converting a cvs repository to git

Hi

One of the prrojects I am involved with is currently looking into migrating from cvs to git, therefore we have been investigating this by setting up a git repository that tracks cvs, however there are some very strange things going on and I was hoping someone could offer some insight into what is going on.

I use the following git cvsimport command to import the repository:

$ git cvsimport -v -a -i -k -d:pserver:user@server:port/path/to/cvs/repo -C /path/to/new/git/repo module

this ran successfully with no warnings or errors. However, when I checkout the new git repository that are several files missing from the git checkout that are present in the cvs checkout.

Does anyone know why this would happen, or how to find out? This is a major problem because we will be unable to migrate to cvs until this can be solved.

Cheers

Adam
