I start to get a clue. Adding a line
$log->info("Heads: " . `git show-ref --heads`);
I see this in the log:
2007-10-03 14:13:44 : INFO - Heads: 0b7b372d525a4fe7f662996fec9cd11b1038a6be
refs/heads/master
Thus, I though I created the repository the wrong way. Tried again,
following the recipy of
http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/cvs-migration.html:
$ mkdir /pub/my-repo.git
$ cd /pub/my-repo.git
$ git --bare init --shared
$ git --bare fetch /home/alice/myproject master:master
Checked out freshly using CVS. No problem. But committing a change,
nothing changed :-( The log output is exactly the same, showing only
refs/heads/master. I'm starting to suspect git-cvsserver afterall, but
the docs suggests it is operational for quite a while. Could someone
give me a clue on what am I missed?
