That is strange. The command "data 88" should read the next 88 bytes and
not stop at the line starting with '.
Just to test, I successfully imported this:
-- snip --
commit refs/heads/testing/test
mark :1
committer cvs2svn <cvs2svn> 1002043747 +0000
data 3
'.
-- snap --
So I guess the problem lies much earlier: I could imagine that there is
_another_ "data" command that has a bogus length and just happens to end
after the line "data 88".
Maybe that helps?
I could also imagine that the '. actually is the end of an example
inside a blob, that literally looks like a fast-import script, but
actually is not meant for _this_ fast-import run.
Ciao,
Dscho
