Answering to myself ...
cvsps was the culprit.
I reverted to the unmodified 2.1 version (tag 2.1 without any patches
from the git repository) and suddently I was able to convert some cvs
projects.
But other projects are still causing problem.
- on one project it fail after 2 successful commits with :
fatal: Not a valid object name refs/heads/DEV_2_1_1
read-tree failed: 32768
- another is failing on a specific subdirectory (idealy the project
would be one directory up, in .../Wonder/Ajax/Ajax, but the
Components subdirectory importation systematicaly fail) :
09:50:26: git cvsimport -v

fatal: master: not a valid SHA1
warning: You appear to be on a branch yet to be born.
warning: Forcing checkout of HEAD.
fatal: just how do you expect me to merge 0 trees?
checkout failed: 256
BTW, the output from « cvsps -g » (generating patches) seem to
succeed even when cvsimport fail. Is there a tool that will take the
patches from cvsps and directly import them in git ?
I tried git-am but it failed.
Again, any pointer is welcome to help resolve issues with importing
cvs projects.
Thanks to Michael for pointing out cvs2svn,I haven't tried it yet.

I can't get git-cvsimport to convert a cvs project to git (full log
bellow).
I always get :
fatal: Not a valid object name refs/heads/HEAD
read-tree failed: 32768
I'm a relatively new to git. I would like to convert my project and
track external projects with git.
But cvsimport seem to fail. Any pointer to help me resolve the
issue is welcome !
thanks,
