Gerrit PapeWhen creating a brand new git repository through git-cvsimport (not incremental import), force a checkout of HEAD of master as working tree after successful import using the -f switch to git checkout. Otherwise the working tree is empty, and all files are reported as 'deleted' by git status.
This was noticed and reported by Cameron Dale through http://bugs.debian.org/430903
