Dear Sir,
I found some problems when I was doing conversion using cvs2svn. My platform is Windows 7 with CVSNT. I know cvs2svn might not completely support for CVSNT but I still have to do the conversion for my company. Therefore, I hope you could kindly offer me a help. Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart. There are three problems in the moment. My command used is "Python
cvs2svn --use-cvs --encoding=UTF-8 --encoding==Big5

--dumpfile=C:\output.dump
C:\repository\folder"


The first one is "ERROR: 'c:\\repository\\a\\b\\c\\x.1.0.3.tar,v'  is not a valid , v file  Exited due to fatal error(s)". I've read faq on this problem but I am not quite sure the point three statement"Hand-fix the file as best you can by opening it in a binary editor and trying to put it back in RCS file format (documented in the rcsfile(5) manpage). Often it is older revisions that are affected by corruption; you might need to delete some old revisions to salvage newer ones."
The second problem is "ERROR: The command ' cvs  -q -R  -f  -d C:\\repository\\project20 co -r1.1 -p CVSROOT/ checkoutlist' failed with exit status=1  cvs checkout: User John cannot read CVSROOT on tag/branch 1.1"
The final problem is that during "pass 1 examining all CVS ',v' files..." , it frequently revealed similar warnings which are "WARNING : in ''C:\repository\project12\file1,v' : branch ''1.1.1" already has name 'company' , cannot also have name 'GNU' , ignoring the latter". 
If you want more information for accurate interpretation, feel free to tell me. Once again, Thank you very much.
Best Regards,Marcus
