Re: What to do if git-cvsimport/cvsps hangs?

This is probably more of a cvsps question than a GIT question, but
AFAICT, the cvsps upstream is mostly inactive these days.

I tried to import the PostgreSQL repository, using

  git-cvsimport  -d :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.postgresql.org:/projects/cvsroot -k -C pgsql pgsql

However, after a bit of activity, git-cvsimport hangs at the following
line [...]

Is there some kind of replacement for cvsps which works more reliably?

Yes, cvs2svn, which can now also output to git.  But note: cvs2svn only
supports one-time conversions (not incremental), you need to use the
trunk version of cvs2svn, and using it to convert to git is not yet
documented very well.  See the following thread:

Please let us know how it goes!
