The repo was cloned with cvssuck, and the import was run with cvsps 2.1 and git-1.4.0, getting this (abbreviated, slightly sanitized) output: $ git cvsimport -v -d ':local:/home/ramune/git-import' -C . FOO WARNING: revision 1.21.2.3 of file BAR/BAZ/QUX on unnamed branch <> WARNING: revision 1.6.2.2 of file BAR/BAZ/FROBOZ on unnamed branch invalid cache revision line 'file:X/Y/Z/A/B/C D E.F; D G.F; pre_rev:INITIAL; pos t_rev:1.1; dead:0; branch_point:0 '|' D G.F' DONE; creating master branch fatal: refs/heads/origin: not a valid SHA1 fatal: master: not a valid SHA1 fatal: ambiguous argument 'HEAD': unknown revision or path not in the working tr ee.

The source tree's proprietary, so I can't give snippets or examples, unforutnately. Has anyone come across this issue before and resovled it? If so, how? Thanks, -- DN Daniel
