I'm only able to contact the remote CVS server with the following command git cvsimport -v -d :pserver::@:/path/to/repo -o master path/to/module Then I get a cvs rlog command message per folder in that module. Something like cvs rlog: Logging path/in/module cvs rlog: Logging path/in/module ... It seems all paths are iterated but at the end I get an error message Error: log file parsing error. (3) Use -v to debug As shown above I'm using that option. And nothing is checkout from the CVS server. Am I missing anything? This method isn’t working for me..unfortunately.
