I'm not so comfortable with git. I'm a git beginner... But if I want to 
import a complete CVS tree, including tags, branches, sources files, 
commits, and so on, I'm not sure if the cvs2git is doing all I need. In 
fact :

I do a cvs checkout to build a working space.
I do the command you explain above to make a non bare repo
I create a clone of the new git repo
The files trees are not identical (thanks to Meld...) : the cvs space 
and the git clone, the git clone and the git repo, ... In fact, all the 
files in the git clone are empty...
and if I compare the cvs workspace with the content of the git repo, 
there are not identical....

How can I import my cvs repo in a safety way ?
