OK, so obviously the two JAR files that are mentioned are corrupt. I
assume that they are checked out from git?

Such problems are almost always caused by end-of-line conversion
problems either before the conversion (in CVS) or after the conversion
(in git).

The first question is whether the files were already corrupt in CVS. Try
doing a fresh checkout from CVS *on the same computer*, and check
whether the files are OK there. If the files were already corrupt in
CVS, then you might be able to save the situation by marking them as
binary in CVS and then trying another fresh checkout.

Second, was the source a standard CVS repository, or were you using
CVSNT? If the latter, then there are some things that you have to be
careful of to maximize the chance of a successful conversion. See

    http://cvs2svn.tigris.org/faq.html#cvsnt

Very likely one of those is the source of your problem. If not, let us
know and we can look into less likely causes.
