It looks to me like your conversion bombed out after only one pass (or
during the first pass).  Look carefully at the output emitted by
cvs2git, as it will probably tell you what went wrong.

It is not unusual for the early passes to fail because there is some CVS
ambiguity or another that requires user input to resolve.  Then you
adjust the configuration, restart the conversion, and iterate until all
such problems are solved.
