Also, in my case, this is still broken. $index{$branch} is set, $ancestor not, but $ENV{GIT_INDEX_FILE} ne $index{$branch}. You can reproduce this by importing into branch origin while branch master (which is not equal to origin) is checked out. Plus, the initial setting of GIT_INDEX_FILE forgot to perform a git-read-tree. How about this on top of your patch (which fixes things with my setup): --- [PATCH] cvsimport: always set $ENV{GIT_INDEX_FILE} to $index{$branch} Also, make sure that the initial git-read-tree is performed.
