That sounds like an internal CVS error to me. Doing a "git cvsimport" will obviously get every single version of every single file, so it will inevitably also hit errors that you migt not hit with a regular "cvs co" (which will only get the current version). There's bound to be some "fsck for CVS" (since people edit files by hand, and mistakes must happen), but I have no idea. That said, it's not like we haven't had our share of cvsps issues and other things, so who knows.. > and to my understanding does not do anything usefull next. Nothing is imported > (there is only nearly empty .git tree). Do "git log origin" to see what has been imported. If a cvsimport is broken in the middle, you'll not get any checked-out state, and your HEAD won't point to anything, but the "origin" branch has been created and contains whatever has been imported so far.
