Does cvs commit upstream work? In my testing, I can't get 'cvs ci' to function on a git repo.

This seems to be broken with v1.3.3 and latest 1.3.3.ged90. The cvs clients are the same as before 1.11.1p1 and 1.11.17

The cvs client exits with: Index already exists in git repo

The log (for git version 1.3.3.ged90):

Let me know if any additional information is useful, I didn't have much time to dig into this.
