The command "data 88" should read the next 88 bytes and not stop at the line starting with '. Just to test, I successfully imported this: -- snip -- commit refs/heads/testing/test mark :1 committer cvs2svn <cvs2svn> 1002043747 +0000 data 3 '. -- snap -- So I guess the problem lies much earlier: I could imagine that there is _another_ "data" command that has a bogus length and just happens to end after the line "data 88". Maybe that helps? I could also imagine that the '. actually is the end of an example inside a blob, that literally looks like a fast-import script, but actually is not meant for _this_ fast-import run.
