Ah!  Did you do "CVSROOT=:ext:blablub cvs co HEAD"?

You should "co master".  The branches in git are the modules in cvs.

HEAD is too volatile, you cannot make a proper module from it (imagine for example "git checkout next" where "next" is a branch, followed by "git checkout html", where "html" is another branch).
