That would mean that you do have Linus' patch then. Grep cvsimport for repack and remove the -a -- and consider using his recent patch to rev-list.

My dmesg talks about an earlier cvs segfault. Nasty tree you have here -- it's breaking all sorts of things... and teaching us a thing or two about the import process.

Hmmm? How can you be at patch 249100 and still be a good year ahead of me? Have you told cvsps to cut off old history?

Another thing I found is that this import uses a lot of $TMPDIR, so if your TMPDIR is small, you'll hit all sorts of problems.
