Find corrupt files in cvs repository <ERROR filename,v is not a valid ,v file>

Question

I am trying to migrate my repository from cvs to git using cvs2git but it fails when corrupt files are found. Is there anyway I can find corrupt files in CVS beforehand?

Command used :

cvs2git --blobfile=blobfilename --dumpfile=dumpfilename --retain-conflicting-attic-files --use-cvs --fallback-encoding=ascii -vvv --username=cvs2svn RepositoryPath 

Output :

ERROR filename,v is not a valid ,v file

Answer 1

try using /usr/bin/rcs I used it to read all the ,v files beforehand to locate any ,v files which are corrupt
