It _should_ work the way you are running it, so consider it a bug. Do you think you can do some tinkering/debugging to tell us some more? Otherwise. how large is the cvs repo?

(Debugging this kind of stuff, when it only fails on a specific repo, is tricky and time-consuming. Any help we get is _really_ appreciated. I have imported many trees, and several of them I am tracking - importing new commits on a daily basis - without much trouble, except for invalid/force-moved tags.)

cheers,
martin
