Git - fatal: Branch name doesn't conform to GIT standards
I am trying to migrate a CVS repo to Git using cvs2git.
Unfortunately my cvs repo has many branches with regex.
While doing git fast import(unix) it reports the error below
fatal: Branch name doesn't conform to GIT standards: refs/tags/Release21_3_4_0_0_3_7_10[3_8_4_3]
fast-import: dumping crash report to .git/fast_import_crash_27083
I tried to delete these tags, but no luck. i think it is taking the entire history.
I am not able to import the HEAD alone also.
How do i resolve this?
git cvs2git

You can find out more here. This is how git verify that your branch name is a valid name.
The problem is the characters.
Try to locally create branch with those names and you will see the error.
Here is a detailed post(s) abot what and how to do it.
You must rename the tags in order to get them into git.
