Hello Matthias,
I have problems importing the FAUmachine CVS tree into git. I tried the
following with git HEAD and cvsps 2.1:

	git-cvsimport-script -d /var/lib/cvsd/cvsroots -C /var/lib/cvsd/gitroots/FAUmachine FAUmachine
	<Output of rlog and 'treated as before'>
	Committing initial tree e30105bb454c40a143689b37c11340f1a8f084b4

	Unknown: error

If I symlink HEAD afterwards manual to .git/refs/heads/origin I can see that
every until April 28 is imported (which is a very big amount). If I try
the above statement for the mutt cvs repository, it works perfectly for
me.

Any help is highly appreciated.

To make it easy reproducable I put the tar.gz on my webpage. But beware
of the size (202 Mbyte)!

Thanks,

Hallo,

> 	git-cvsimport-script -d /var/lib/cvsd/cvsroots -C /var/lib/cvsd/gitroots/FAUmachine FAUmachine
> 	<Output of rlog and 'treated as before'>
> 	Committing initial tree e30105bb454c40a143689b37c11340f1a8f084b4

> 	Unknown: error

I isolated the error to the following:

<lib/pattern-matcher/input/Pic0.ppm> <1.1>

It tries to retrieve version 1.1 of lib/pattern-matcher/input/Pic0.ppm. However
I can't find a single reference to Pic0.ppm:

	(faui02new) [/var/lib/cvsd/cvsroots] grep -rli Pic0.ppm FAUmachine
	(faui02new) [/var/lib/cvsd/cvsroots] find . | grep Pic0.ppm
	(faui02new) [/var/lib/cvsd/cvsroots]

Ideas?

	Thomas

But I see the PatchSet if I run cvsps manually. Very strange.

If there's no lib/pattern-matcher/input/Pic0.ppm,v nor
lib/pattern-matcher/input/Attic/Pic0.ppm,v file ...

... then, congratulations, you've found a bug in cvsps.
Please talk to its author.

no there isn't.

yes, it seems so. My currently theory is that cvsps extracts the
information out of the log message of the Pic1.ppm file. However I
wonder why my grep didn't came with something up.

bullshit. It was an corrupted / outdates cvsps cache file. Everything
seems to work as expected right now.
