When I attempt to use this script, I get the following error: warning: Not updating refs/heads/master (new tip 26b1787fca04f2f9772b6854843fe99fe06e6088 does not contain fc0ad65d14d88fd27a6cee74c7cef3176f6900ec). I have git 1.5.6.5, any ideas?

Thanks!!


KeyError: 146

I also get this error, here's the output (it seems to stem from an error in the python script):

etc.

(Removed now dead info and blah blah.)

It works fine.... The script is picky about having everything in proper UTF-8, and proper XML and HTML escaping. You need that to have a successful import. I let Emacs remove DOS line endings, and it works OK (if on *nix of some sort, of course). Thing is with this git fast-import, is that you have to git reset afterwards, (let's say you put them in posts/) git checkout posts, git add posts, then commit. I don't know if this a characteristic with git fast-import, but this is the way I get my posts to exist on the filesystem. If I don't do this, then I lose the data. If you get that "Not updating..." error, then just --force the import in. --[[users/simonraven]]
