Hi,

Indeed, the trouble is here: git-cvsserver, near line 1203:

    my $parenthash = `git show-ref -s refs/heads/$state->{module}`;

$state->{module} is -of course- HEAD. git show-ref -s refs/heads/HEAD 
indeed gives no output. git show-ref -s refs/heads/master works just 
fine.
Ah!  Did you do "CVSROOT=:ext:blablub cvs co HEAD"?

You should "co master".  The branches in git are the modules in cvs.

HEAD is too volatile, you cannot make a proper module from it (imagine for 
example "git checkout next" where "next" is a branch, followed by "git 
checkout html", where "html" is another branch).
