I just tried importing the CVS repository for a long-running project
(ppp) into git using git cvsimport. It looks like git cvsimport
doesn't notice when files have been deleted, so files that used to be
present and were subsequently deleted are present in the git tree for
the most recent commit.
I never had that problem. See
http://repo.or.cz/w/libvncserver.git?a=commit;h=8dead0759febaa7176507e1bde13ebd9d2a30720
for a commit that was imported with cvsimport.
So your issue must lie somewhere else.
I encountered such an issue some time ago in incremental mode, when
another person did some cvs branch stuff. The error persisted even as I
did a clean checkout, but disappeared, after I deleted all the cvsps
cache files.
I failed to report the error, because I had not much time for debugging
at that time and I would not have been able to publish the repository.
That's when I switched to fromcvs, which seems to work reliably so far (and
much faster), but requires a local repository.
