No, there isn't space. It's only a keyboard entry error when copying the 
command.

There were errors and warnings I can't understand :

for example, for about 25 files (in a tree containing more than 8600) I 
have a
ERROR: File '/home/cvsrepository/...' has default branch=1.1.1 but also 
a revision 1.2

and no dumpfile generated.

To make tests, I suppress the files which are mentioned and retry
then there was an error due to encoding warnings.
and no dumpfile generated.

I used the --encoding option to fix it
then, after that, the first pass is OK. The dump file is generated

But there are remaining warnings such as :

In '../cvsrepos/.../servcomm.h,v':
     branch 'TRUNC' references invalid revision 1
     and will be ignored.

I don't know how this will impact later import

But how can I correct the previous warning ?

Now, I used git fast-import which runs without errors. But if I clone 
the new repository , all files are empty. 0 byte length...
what's the matter ?
