CVSROOT set in the environment, CVS_RSH too, and I imported with:\n\ngit-cvsimport -k -a -C themodule themodule\n\nHowever, it didn't do what I expected: I couldn't see the branch named \"foo\".\n\nI had to make a commit using CVS on that very same module on that \"foo\" \nbranch. After the commit, out of curiosity, I executed the same git command \nagain in the same directory: this time the branch was seen.\n\nIs this a bug, or is there a git-cvsimport option that I missed? I have looked \nat the manpage several times, and couldn't find what option could be of any \nuse in my case (mind you, I haven't looked at the cvsps manpage either).\n\nThanks,\n-- \nfge\n"}]}
