Subject: [PATCH] git-archimport does not cope with empty summaries
Message-ID: <45E43359.3030400@lu.unisi.ch>

I got this while importing bonzini@gnu.org--2004b/lightning--stable--1.2 
(archive available at 
http://www.inf.unisi.ch/phd/bonzini/webdav/bonzini@gnu.org--2004b via 
webdav).

The patch seems pretty obvious to me:

2007-02-27  Paolo Bonzini  <bonzini@gnu.org>

         * git-archimport (parselog): Cope with an empty summary.
