Sorry for the late response. The moderation email that I got landed in

cvs2git is trying to run the cvs command that is shown in the error
message, but that command is failing. You need to find out why the
command is failing, which depends on your local setup. If you can get
that command to run, then cvs2git should work.

Alternatively, you might want to use the
`--use-external-blob-generator`, which tells cvs2git to extract the data
from your CVS files itself rather than using cvs commands to do so.
However, if you are using CVSNT then this probably won't work 100%, as
the CVSNT file format is different than that of standard CVS.
