We are reading/writing directly to .git/refs/heads/ a lot in this
script. Not changing that for the time being.

Because we get the head names from cvsps output, and we want to have a

git-commit-tree could fail for a number of reasons, this one is the
most likely one to be from a bug in cvsps or the cvsimport logic.
