AuthReply: I HATE YOU response while using git cvsimport

I am migrating from CVS to Git. I am trying the following command on Cygwin Terminal 

$ git cvsimport -v -d :pserver:kashif.nazar@cvs-server:/cvsroot MyModule

but I am getting the following response.

AuthReply: I HATE YOU

Seems like this is an authentication issue.

Where am I going wrong?

Solution

  • Log in via CVS first:

    cvs -d :pserver:kashif.nazar@cvs-server:/cvsroot login

    You'll need your pserver password (often it's just "guest" or an empty string).
