Just an idea (haven't tried myself): If you ran second command on the already existing git, I can imagine how the cvsimport module cannot handle that. Try do each extractions separately, and then stitch the parts together afterwards. Or if data is in different subdirs of same CVS "repository" then perhaps extract the outer dir once and then massage the result using "git filter-branch". - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
