git-cvsimport problem

Hi all

I run git-cvsimport in verbose mode and I see "* UNKNOWN LINE * Branches:" many times during execution , will that cause any problem ? And my repository doesn't include any branches ? so why do I see this message ?

Thanks in advance .

You must be using the beta version of cvsps, cvsps-2.2b1

,---- From the CHANGELOG:

| 
| 2.2b1
| - add a new line item in the PatchSet output which indicates which 
|   branches fork off from after this PatchSet.  This is actually
|   the only way to correctly indicate the branching.  The 'Ancestor
|   Branch' thing is actually broken by design, and is now deprecated.

`----

git-cvsimport uses the -A ancestor mechanism (after patching cvsps-2.1 for some corner cases), this ignores the Branches line.

I'd be interested in knowing the git-cvsimport authors' opinion on reworking it to use the Branches mechanism.
