A quick check with a few files of my repository confirms that indeed
this is the reason for my problem.
The leads me to the question: Why are these @ signs present in my author
names? (btw. neither command-line cvs nor eclipse-cvs do display them
when looking at cvs log or the resource history)
I hosted this repository on cvs-nt on Windows XP/2003 for about a year
and switched over to a Debian based cvsd (a chrooted cvs). On the
client-side, I used the command line cvs supplied with cvs-nt and then
switched to eclipse-cvs, beginning with version 2.1 then 3.0 M1/M2/M3/M4.
Maybe cvs2svn should strip the @ signs before passing ,v files to co? At
the very least it should stop when co errors.
Regards,
Andreas
