Re: git-cvsimport with cvsps output in commit msg breaks imports

Hi all,

[ I've Cced both the cvsps maintainer and the author listed for
git-cvsimport in case it's more relevant to either tool. ]

I am wondering if anyone here is able to shed some light on a problem I've
encountered with git-cvsimport.  For ages now, I've had an automatic
conversion of a CVS repository to a Git one, using git-cvsimport to update a
repository as commits happen in CVS.

The repository in question is here:

https://github.com/ThomasAdam/tmux

Everything is on the Master branch.

More specifically, the commit which I think introduced the problem, and all
subsequent commits thereafter is here:

https://github.com/ThomasAdam/tmux/commit/f0220a10b01a764e0dc52ea1b2407f58600a30eb

Note that from this commit onwards, the commit *message* has a bunch of
cvsps output in it.  I can only surmise that this somehow causes problems
for cvsimport.

But I can't say for sure.

The previous one has cvsps info in the commit message already, prefixed
with "|". So the problem is the previous one or the one before.

If you have cvs checkout, can spot anything between those? Can you redo
the cvsps import from that point on and check cvsps log?
