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
