This means that the cvs repository was parsed wrongly, leading to this
attempt to delete a file that hasn't been placed on disk.

Your entire conversion is suspect - sorry.

There are several possible causes for this. One is incorrect handling of
dead revisions, another is gaps in the revision numbers. I don't see
this anymore in my development code, but that isn't released [yet].

So, I can't offer you a simple bugfix, but if you have a little patience
I will be able to offer a cscvs that will do the right thing.
