(delete > the Attic files, re-run cvs2git command) Please beware that deleting *all* of your Attic files is not advisable. Doing so will discard *all* information about files that either were added on a branch (but not to trunk) or existed in trunk during some part of their history but were later deleted. It would be better to delete the problematic Attic file but include the others in the conversion.
