I am still learning git. I can't figure out how to import cvs history
into it. Everytime I try it gives me this error after running this
command:

git-cvsimport -A ./authors.txt -p x -v
-d :pserver:address@hidden:/sources/denemo denemo

fatal: Needed a single revision
Branch 'origin' does not exist.
Either use the correct '-o branch' option,
or import to a new repository.

Do you know enough about git to know what is going on. I rsynced a copy
of the entire CVSROOT tree. I have access to the history file.
