    _______________________________________________________

Details:

My attempts to convert libcdio from CVS to git seem incomplete. 

I issued this command:
git-cvsimport -A authors.txt -p x -v
-d:ext:address@hidden:/sources/libcdio libcdio

and the directories pycdio, rbcdio and Perl-Device-Cdio did not get copied,
just libcdio. I however created a git repository for that. 

If I try to issue this command again or with any of the missing directories I
get:

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

I"ve also tried with explicit -o branches like HEAD or MAIN or a tag I
recently created.
