I ran the import-tars which comes with 1:1.5.1.1-1 (Debian). I checked 
out the import-tars branch but now I can't commit:

How do I proceed? I upgraded to 1:1.5.1.4-2 but the problem persists.

I think that the bug you experienced is solved in 1.5.2. You can download 
import-tars.perl separately, as it should work with the 1.5.1.1 plumbing:

http://repo.or.cz/w/git.git?a=blob;f=contrib/fast-import/import-tars.perl;h=23aeb257b9557cb146586868084ce1b20d7e7ac8;hb=HEAD

Hth,

Indeed, I confirm that the problem is fixed.
