I have problems importing a CVS repository:

-> git cvsimport -v -d :pserver:denx@cvs.semihalf.com:/cvs -C /home/git/duts duts
cvs_direct initialized to CVSROOT /cvs
cvs rlog: Logging duts
cvs rlog: Logging duts/core
NOTICE: used alternate strip path /home/cvs/duts/core/duts
DONE; creating master branch
cp: cannot stat `/home/git/duts/.git/refs/heads/origin': No such file or directory
usage: git-read-tree (<sha> | -m [-u | -i] <sha1> [<sha2> [<sha3>]])
checkout failed: 256
-> git --version
git version 0.99.7

Am I doing anything wrong here?

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

What does 

cvsps -u -A --cvs-direct --root :pserver:denx@cvs.semihalf.com:/cvs duts

say ?

-> cvsps -u -A --cvs-direct --root :pserver:denx@cvs.semihalf.com:/cvs duts
connect error: Network is unreachable
cvs rlog: cannot find module `duts' - ignored


But "cvs -d :pserver:denx@cvs.semihalf.com:/cvs co duts" works fine...

Does leaving out the --cvs-direct have any effect ?

Yes, the "Network is unreachable" disappears:

-> cvsps -u -A --root :pserver:denx@cvs.semihalf.com:/cvs duts
cvs rlog: cannot find module `duts' - ignored

This is cvsps version 2.1.

Your csh still thinks true is false. Write to your vendor  today  and

fix  their blasted shell. :-)
