When trying to cvsimport a project into git, I get an error from cvsps:
bad usage: invalid argument -A
Usage: cvsps [-h] [-x] [-u] [-z <fuzz>] [-g] [-s <range>[,<range>]]
[-a <author>] [-f <file>] [-d <date1> [-d <date2>]]
[-b <branch>] [-l <regex>] [-r <tag> [-r <tag>]]
[-p <directory>] [-v] [-t] [--norc] [--summary-first]
[--test-log <captured cvs log file>] [--bkcvs]
[--no-rlog] [--diff-opts <option string>] [--cvs-direct]
[--debuglvl <bitmask>] [-Z <compression>] [--root <cvsroot>]
[<repository>] [-q]
<-- cut option explanation -->
There is cvsps version 2.0rc1 installed on our server (a Suse 9.3 I
believe),
and using git version 1.5.0.2.775.g1a500 (next from a few minutes ago).
Many thanx in advance for any hints on how to make this work

What was your command line?

Very good question. Earlier I was doing grep, and as far as I
can tell, git-cvsimport in Perl _always_ has passed -A to cvsps.

The complete command line was
git-cvsimport -d :pserver:ray007@cvs.drupal.org:/cvs/drupal-contrib -C views
-k contributions/modules/views
Leaving out -k doesn't change anything.
And the manpage for git-cvsimport says, option -A is implicit ...

Sorry to have missed that earlier. AFAIR cvsimport _needs_ cvsps 2.1. You
have version 2.0rc1, which is not sufficient...

Thanks, I will make sure we get a new cvsps on the server.

OK, thanks a lot, now that I'm using cvsps especially for git from
http://ydirson.free.fr/en/software/scm/cvsps.html things are looking
a bit better.
There are some modules I can import with relative little noise. Not sure why
I needed to do 'checkout -f' to get all the files in the working directory,
but I got no problem with that.
For some other modules it doesn't work at all.
I.e. trying
$ git cvsimport -d :pserver:ray007@cvs.drupal.org:/cvs/drupal-contrib -C
localizer -a contributions/modules/localizer
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/ray/drupal/modules/localizer/.git/
file 'CHANGELOG.txt; pre_rev:INITIAL; post_rev:1.1; dead:0; branch_point:0
' not found in hash
fatal: refs/heads/origin: not a valid SHA1
fatal: master: not a valid SHA1
warning: You appear to be on a branch yet to be born.
warning: Forcing checkout of HEAD.
fatal: just how do you expect me to merge 0 trees?
checkout failed: 256
Any hint what I have done wrong?
Doing a normal cvs checkout works, trying to do a git-cvsimport in the
checked-out directory fails with the same error again.
For trying out, username=anonymous, password=anonymous should work.
Or to just see what's in the repo, you can have a look at
http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/drupal/contributions/modules/localizer/
to see the repo I tried in the example above.
My perl knowledge is _very_ limited, but I'll have a look at the script too
...

This looks to me as if you did not cleanup after failed attempts. I would
try this in a fresh directory. Actually, I did, and I think it worked,
too... Latest commit is

I always tried with a new directory, that's not the reason.
I've just tried it out on my home-box, which is a ubuntu edgy x86
installation, and git-cvsimport seems to work quite fine here.
On our server, which is a suse 9.3 amd64 installation (with the latest
suse updates for that version), I just can't get it to run. Currently I
wonder how I got _any_ git-cvsimport to work there. Still the same error
256 ...
How do I find out the minimum-version of tools I need to use
git-cvsimport? I already know about cvsps and did install a current
version there, but there seem to be some more dependencies ...
Or could it be a 64-bit issue somewhere?
'make test' says everything is fine.
If you can point me in the some direction on how to debug this, I'll
give it a try, currently I have no clue where to start.

Yes, that looks good. Which means something on our server is the reason
for git-cvsimport not working.
Continuing investigation ...

It could be. I'd first try cvsps itself, to find out if the issue is not
there (not many 64-bit issues in Perl, are there?).
Hth,
