Have you tried "git checkout -f" after that? With recent enough git, "git cvsimport -C <destination> <module>" from the top level of existing cvs working directory, with nonexistent destination directory (that is, you let "git cvsimport -C" to create that destination directory) would run "git checkout -f" for you. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
