Hi.  I'm trying to use cvs2git to convert a CVS repository into a non-bare =
git repository.

It sort of works - I end up seeing a bunch of branches.  Except there is no=
 branch called TAG.FIXUP like the documentation refers to.  (http://cvs2svn=
.tigris.org/cvs2git.html)  And the master branch ends up empty.

I created a new file in trunk in the CVS repo and ran again, then exhaustiv=
ely searched every resulting git branch for the file.  It's not there.

Would it be better to convert to a bare repo?  If so, how do I then merge t=
he contents of that bare repo into an existing remote repo?

Thanks for any insight people might be able to share.

Mark
