Hello,

I'm trying to git cvsimport a cvs repository. Process ends with: DONE. fatal: Needed a single revision Can merge only exactly one commit into empty head Could not merge origin into the current branch.

The fatal comes from: $ git rev-parse --verify HEAD fatal: Needed a single revision

What is the problem here and how to fix it?

How to reproduce: get http://carme.pld-linux.org/~arekm/rpm5.tar.bz2 unpack cd rpm5 git cvsimport -v -d :pserver:anonymous@rpm5.org:/cvs rpm

I'm using: $ git --version git version 1.5.6.4
