You just need to point cvs2git one directory deeper; i.e., instead of
asking it to convert

    /some/path/to/cvs

you should ask it to convert

    /some/path/to/cvs/myproject

cvs2git will automatically determine that the "myproject" directory is
within the CVS repository that is one layer up, but it will make all
paths relative to "myproject".

Hope that helps,
Michael
