Empty file problem with cvs2svn.py!

Hello everyone,

I've got a strange problem with converting a rather small cvs repository 
to subversion: A lot of the converted files are empty! They never were 
empty in any of the cvs versions.

Does anyone have an idea why this happens?

svn 0.32.1 (r7497)
Apache 2.0.47
libdb4.1 4.1.25-10

Regards,

Andreas

About half.

Most? Or all?

That doesn't necessarily mean anything - cvs2svn lacks error checking for co
invocation.

Yes. The conversion process did not surface any errors.

server:~# which co
/usr/bin/co

server:~# co -V
RCS version 5.7

Do you have the co command from rcs installed? cvs2svn.py needs it.

bye,

Erik.
