I'm trying to convert the PostgreSQL CVS to Git, using Git 1.5.4 (but the problem also occurs with earlier versions). To reproduce: $ rsync -avzCH --delete anoncvs.postgresql.org::pgsql-cvs cvsroot/ $ git-cvsimport -v -d $PWD/cvsroot pgsql This runs for a while and then messages like this are repeating: WARNING: Invalid PatchSet 2062, Tag REL7_1_BETA2: src/include/c.h:1.17=after, src/include/executor/nodeNestloop.h:1.2=before. Treated as 'before' WARNING: Invalid PatchSet 2062, Tag REL7_1_BETA2: src/include/c.h:1.17=after, src/include/executor/nodeResult.h:1.2=before.

Treated as 'before' ... ... ... and then they start again WARNING: Invalid PatchSet 2062, Tag REL7_1_BETA2: src/include/c.h:1.17=after, src/include/executor/nodeNestloop.h:1.2=before. Treated as 'before' WARNING: Invalid PatchSet 2062, Tag REL7_1_BETA2: src/include/c.h:1.17=after, src/include/executor/nodeResult.h:1.2=before.

Treated as 'before' I've let this run all night and it doesn't stop. I don't want to exclude the possibility that the CVS repository has had some funny business done to it over the years, but surely an infinite loop shouldn't happen in any case.
