One directory in the result is named CVSROOT and everything would be fine, but I wan to know why gitk does not see it. Git itself does not report it either, but it lets me "git rm -r CVSROOT" and stages the change. I just want to know what's up with this before I commit myself to using this converted repo. -- Kevin O'Gorman programmer, n. an organism that transmutes caffeine into software. ``` ## Felipe Contreras, 2012-11-28 00:19 Subject: Re: Why is this known by git but not by gitk Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/CAMP44s30-3BQeEU-c2vG8nonXEs%3DthQ704VZpyOMYVsYBsWmCw%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` On Tue, Nov 27, 2012 at 6:50 PM, Kevin O'Gorman wrote: > I just converted a SourceForge CVS repo to git using cvs2svn.
