I'm trying to write an importer using fast-import, but I'm having
trouble. I'm wondering if its working, or if I'm hitting known issues.
For one thing, it has trouble with my commit line. Here's what I'm
getting (starting with a cmd.exe window in XP or Vista):
C:\> c:\msysgit\bin\sh -login -i
Welcome to msysGit
Run 'git help git' to display the help index.
Run 'git help <command>' to display help for specific commands.

$ mkdir Gittest

$ git fast-import
commit refs/heads/master
fatal: Branch name doesn't conform to GIT standards: refs/heads/master
fast-import: dumping crash report to .git/fast_import_crash_2352
The same sequence of commands seems to work fine with the Cygwin
version. Is this perhaps a line ending issue?
Also, how the heck do I send an EOF to this to get it to shut down
nicely? Hitting CTRL-D works with Cywgin, but doesn't seem to do
anything with the msys version.
