Ah, ok. I guess unpacking isn't what I need to do. I'm quite new to git and don't really understand the internals yet. Anyway, cvs2git produced 2 .dat files that I'm trying to import into a git repository using the following commands: git init cat cvs2svn-tmp/git-blob.dat cvs2svn-tmp/git-dump.dat | git fast-import I'm following the instructions from here: http://cvs2svn.tigris.org/cvs2git.html It looks like the objects have been added to the repository but that no branches have been created. Any idea how to create a branch and add the 66000 objects to it? -- View this message in context: http://git.661346.n2.nabble.com/Git-unpack-objects-on-Windows-tp5917819p5918228.html Sent from the git mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
