(At least I hope that it is Windows-compatible!) For big conversions, it might also be advantageous to start the fast-import of the blob file while the rest of the cvs2git conversion is still running. > (2) When the conversion is done. > You must git checkout, without that if you do a git status, > it will show all the files in the repository as marked as deleted. Yes, the "git checkout master" command has been included in the trunk version of the documentation for some time now, but hasn't made it into a release yet. But actually I just changed the instructions [1] to take a slightly different approach of having the user create a bare repository, then cloning it when done. I think this is a more useful workflow.
