Probably your cvs.exe is somehow not working correctly or not configured
correctly.  Try running the conversion with the additional option
"-vvvvvv" (vvvery vvvverbose) and see if it outputs anything strange.

You might also try the trunk version of cvs2svn/cvs2git, which uses
internal code (instead of a CVS executable) to extract file contents.

Try running "./run-tests.py" in the main cvs2svn directory to see
whether cvs2svn is working.  (For this you of course need to install the
"svnadmin" command.)

This is a limitation of git, which only records file contents; it does
not record empty directories.  The suggested solution is to add an empty
.gitignore file in empty directories, but cvs2git does not yet offer
this as an option.  You could add such files after the conversion.
