It seems to be a problem with a weird filename (with a newline in it), added in this checkin: http://fossil-scm.org/index.html/info/ac1af2306b70c537 (It's all what this checkin was about: to test how fossil can handle some weird filenames.) One of the file in this checkin is: "abc\ndef.txt" (with a newline) Looks like the export/import command doesn't support file with newline, we can see the filename is truncated in the error message. I even test using the version of fossil from branch: ticket-d17d6e5b17 (from 2013) that was made to fix some issues with filenames and I get the same error when exporting/importing a test repository with a file containing a newline in it. [snip] Attached to this email (hopefully it will not get removed) is my test script that I use to create a new repository with a file containing a newline in it and trying to do an export/import cycle. If you look at the resulting "test.git-export" file, you can see that the newline on the filename produce a line with a part of the filename in it, which is seen as garbage on the git-fastexport file. I have no clue how to fix that. Regards -- Martin G.
