Some time passed since I did the tests. I had no time to do a detailed investigation then. I'll have more time now and will prepare a bug report, which is not easy because I can't sent you the cvs repo, sorry. Any hints what would be most helpful for you? I remember that togit reported a broken pipe. My feeling was that git-fastimport aborted, which may be reason why tohg worked better. I didn't try to understand more details. I never read ruby code before and it was already a challenge for me to get everything up and running (rcs, rbtree). Steffen
