Hi,

I track quite a few CVS repos with 'git-cvsimport -k -i', but recently it stopped working (of course, I was not reimporting, but incrementally tracking them). I think it is the introduction of one-index-per-branch policy:

> fatal: index file mmap failed (Invalid argument)
> unable to write to git-update-index:  at /.../git-cvsimport line 606, <CVS> line 277425.

It seems that git-cvsimport makes a temporary file of size 0, which cannot get mmap()ed, because it has size 0.

Any help appreciated, Dscho
