Comment 1 for bug 663195

git's cvsimport does not fail with the same source branch.

Might it help to re-import the cvs source altogether? - but probably that would result in another repo without any common ancestor with existing forks/branches of it, correct?

I would really appreciate a note about how and if this can get fixed in the next days/weeks. Currently it interrupts my whole workflow of getting updates from upstream/trunk.

I am really considering switching to Git and Github instead - at least I have conversion of CVS HEAD in place already, and would "only" have to transfer my delta over to it.
