Importance of CVSROOT folder while CVS to GIT migration

Hi,

I am trying to convert CVS dump files to git dat files by running below
command:

cvs2git --blobfile=cvs2svn-tmp/git-blob.dat
--dumpfile=cvs2svn-tmp/git-dump.dat --retain-conflicting-attic-files
--use-cvs --fallback-encoding=ascii -vvv --username=cvs2svn
/anitha/xfortCallouts

But, above command fails with below error:
ERROR: the path '/anitha/xfortCallouts' is not a CVS repository, nor a path
within a CVS repository. A CVS repository contains a CVSROOT directory
within its root directory.

So, i created an empty CVSROOT directory under anitha folder and i could run
above command successfully and all 16 passes were successful. Is it ok to
proceed ahead of GIT migration or is it not a right way to create CVSROOT
empty folder? Kindly confirm. 

Regards,
Anitha
