AuthReply: I HATE YOU response while using git cvsimport

Question

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?

I think git just needs some candy. Don't take it personal... It happens to the best of us — , Aug 26 '20 at 22:44

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).

there should be space after -d "cvs -d :pserver:kashif.nazar@cvs-server:/cvsroot login" – Olcay Tarazan Oct 14 '15 at 06:45
When I do this, I get a prompt for CVS password but the password is displayed in text and is treated as a command. What can I do? – Shravya Boggarapu May 19 '16 at 06:18
