cvs2git failed in pass2 ...

Hi All,

I am using cvs2svn tool to convert my CVS repository to GIT. I have download the "cvs2svn-2.3.0.tar.gz" file.

I have created git user to install GIT and then using the same user (git) I try to run "./cvs2git" command below way.

./cvs2git \ --blobfile=/home/git/tmp/git-files/git-blob.dat \ --dumpfile=/home/git/tmp/git-files/git-dump.dat \ --username=git /opt/source/Repo_from_CVS/VD

It took around 10 mins to finish pass1 and for pass 2 it raised the warnings and messages like below ============================================================== Done

Time for pass1 (CollectRevsPass): 526.3 seconds.
----- pass 2 (CleanMetadataPass) -----

Hi All,

Can any one know how to overcome this error... I tried with --encoding=UTF8 but the same error.

I also gave a try with --fallback-encoding but seems like its exclude comments from their output as shown below:

Time for pass2 (CleanMetadataPass): 0.590 seconds.

Hi All,

I am able to run cvs2git command successfully by adding --encoding=ascii --encoding=utf8 --encoding=utf16 --encoding=latin

Thanks...

Hi supadhyay

How did the complete command work?

cvs2git  --encoding=ascii --encoding=utf8 --encoding=utf16 --encoding=latin

or 

cvs2git --encoding=ascii --encoding=utf8 --encoding=utf16 --encoding=latin *+ parameters of git*

?

Tks :)
