Hi I am a newbie to GIT. I have a CVS repository on m local computer and i am trying to migrate it to GIT.

I am using the following command.

C:\Users\testuser\Downloads\CVS2SVN\dist\cvs2svn-2.4.0> python cvs2git --blobfile=C:\Demos\cvsmigration\git-shoping-blob.dat --dumpfile=C:\Demos\cvsmigration\git-shoping-dump.dat --username=cvs2git C:\Demos\cvsrepo

Above command exit with the following error.

Filtering out excluded symbols and summarizing items... ERROR: The command 'cvs -Q -f -d :local:C:\Demos\cvsrepo co -r1.1 -p -kb CVSRO OT/checkoutlist' failed with exit status=0 and the following output: cvs checkout: cwd=C:\Users\testuser\Downloads\CVS2SVN\dist\cvs2svn-2.4.0 ,curren t=C:\Users\testuser\Downloads\CVS2SVN\dist\cvs2svn-2.4.0

Any help please ..!!

@ksiraj786: Sorry I didn't see your comment earlier. The main website for this project is http://cvs2svn.tigris.org/, and support is mostly via the mailing list mentioned on that website.

It looks like the cvs command that is in your path is emitting extraneous information to stderr. cvs2git interprets that as a failure, because usually this program doesn't output to stderr under normal operation.

My guess is that your cvs is actually a batch file or something that writes debugging information before actually running the real cvs.exe. The easiest fix is to run cvs2git with the option --cvs=PATH to tell it the path of the real cvs.exe executable.

Hi mhagger

I know this is a very old post and the chances of a reply are bleak but I would take my chances.

I am running into an issue with cvs2git migration. Following are the steps that I am following:

I have a Local snapshot of the repository that has CVSROOT and the projects Then I ran the following command to get the .dat file generated but the files are not generating and I am getting the following error at the Pass 4 Command python cvs2git.bat --blobfile=C:\files\git-blob.dat --dumpfile=C:\files\git-dump.dat --username= --encoding=utf8

ERROR: Filtering out excluded symbols and summarizing items... ERROR: The command 'cvs -Q -R -f -d :local:C:\ABC\Work\Migration\FH\Fuzon co -r1.1 -p -kb CVSROOT/checkoutlist' failed with exit status=1 and the following output: cvs checkout: connect to 127.0.0.1(127.0.0.1:2402):2402 failed: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. cvs [checkout aborted]: Couldn't connect to lock server

I tried to connect to the actual cvs server also and then run the command but it still failed. I am using Windows 7 box.

Anyway I can overcome this issue.
