Hi. Here's what I'm trying to do:

In gitcvs:
    [il@basin documentation]$ git mv SIC_SAP1_0_ADM_dv1_1.doc SIC_SAP1_0_ADM_dv1_2.doc
    (edit the file)
    [il@basin documentation]$ git commit ... SIC_SAP1_0_ADM_dv1_2.doc
    ...
    $ git log --stat -n 1
    commit b04fa43c9f1374cf0ea5f9bf88024282414b0a0c
    Date:   Wed Aug 1 12:50:53 2012 +0400
    
        SIC_SAP1_0_ADM_dv1_2.doc: connection_timeout
    
     documentation/SIC_SAP1_0_ADM_dv1_1.doc |  Bin 7383040 -> 0 bytes
     documentation/SIC_SAP1_0_ADM_dv1_2.doc |  Bin 0 -> 7427584 bytes
     2 files changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)

OK So far

    $ git cvsexportcommit -w ../../cvs/SAP -u -p -k -c b04fa43c9f1374cf0ea5f9bf88024282414b0a0c

    -rw-r--r-- 1 basin Users 7383040 Jun  9  2005 ../../cvs/SAP/documentation/SIC_SAP1_0_ADM_dv1_1.doc.orig

I compared SIC_SAP1_0_ADM_dv1_1.doc.orig and the file from HEAD~1 .
They are equal. Why error?

Removing '-k' helped. I think it's a bug.
'-k' should not affect binary files.
