Package: git-cvs
Version: 1:1.7.1-1
Severity: normal
git-cvsimport maps each option $OPT to the cvsimport.$OPT git-config
entry. However, since git-config entries are case-insensitive, two
options can share the same entry.
In my case, running git-cvsimport now yields this:
fatal: bad config value for 'cvsimport.r' in .git/config
This is a result of:
$ git config --get cvsimport.r
origin
$ git config --bool --get cvsimport.R
fatal: bad config value for 'cvsimport.r' in .git/config
(Note that the error is only fatal to the specific git-config instance,
and not to git-cvsimport itself.)

v1.7.4-rc1~5^2 (cvsimport: handle the parsing of uppercase config
options, 2010-12-29) seems to fix it. Thanks for a clear report.
