Ah, I hadn't thought of that. Apparently git-cvsimport doesn't
understand bare repos. There is even a Debian bug reported:

  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=472873

You might be able to hack around it with:

  mkdir bare.git && (cd bare.git && git init)
  mkdir cvsimport-hack && ln -s ../bare.git cvsimport-hack/.git
  git cvsimport -C cvsimport-hack
