I wonder why the steps in that guide deviate from the official documentation
of the csv2git. Did you check the latter?
Anyway, are your JAR (and other binary files) are actually marked as binary in
the source (CVS) repository - say, as detailed in [1]?
Basically, what sugested by @Mort in their respective comment:
| In the CVS repo, if you type
|
| cvs status myjar.jar it should indicate that
|
| the file is binary with
|
| Sticky Options: -kb.
|
| If it is not, you probably need to set it in CVS and re-import to git.
See also [2] - as suggested in the same comment.
In other words:
1. Read the csv2git docs carefully. Read the provided sample .options file,
do not simplemindedly follow a random HOWTO.
2. Try making sure all the binary files in your CVS repository are properly
marked as binary so that the converted is able to do its job.
