Ok, this is totally unrelated to git-cvsimport. This is a bug that affects Alioth because we use nss_updatedb and all users disappear for a second every 30 minutes. This causes troubles for long-lasting processes like this one. We're in contact with nss-updatedb maintainer to fix it but we're not yet done. nscd is supposed to minimize that problem but nscd itself is buggy and tends to crash or causes other problems. I just restarted nscd on Alioth, maybe your next try will work. :) Try the conversion on another machine and it should work in any case. Also note that I've been recommended usage of "parsecvs" instead of git-cvsimport but I never tried it. http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=users/keithp/parsecvs.git See comments on this blog entry: http://www.ouaza.com/wp/2007/07/24/assembling-bits-of-history-with-git/ Cheers, -- Raphaël Hertzog Premier livre français sur Debian GNU/Linux : http://www.ouaza.com/livre/admin-debian/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
