Would you recommend it? git-cvsimport is the basis of my simple scripts. This may have happened because the repo had denynonfastforwards = false and because my script tries to work as well with sourceforge-layout CVS repositories, which lack the extra $module/$module hierarchy found in the savannah CVS repositories. An early version may have failed to adapt and imported both emacs and emacs/emacs. In any case, I've moved emacs.git aside and re-pushed into a clean repo, and that has fixed it. Also, I've found that after running git-cvsimport, sometimes there is no "master" branch. I've manually run the few required commands to do what git-cvsimport should have done. Haven't yet found time to investigate; part of the problem is that importing emacs takes several hours, and it's only at the end that git-cvsimport might be misbehaving.
