ok. I tried this:
git-archimport kevin@desertsol.com--files/scripts--base kevin@desertsol.com--files/scripts--oco
and it always complains:
Cannot find patchset for 'kevin@desertsol.com--files/scripts--oco--0--patch-1' at /usr/bin/git-archimport line 784
I don't have any spaces or funny characters in filenames.
