New import of CVS module gnokii-extras to git repository can cause problems

[Daniele Forsi]

It seems that when I converted the CVS repository to multiple git
repositories I pushed the incomplete backup copy of gnokii-extras with
the result that the CVS history wasn't preserved, not even the first
commit seemed right; this happened only for gnokii-extras as far as I
can tell.

I asked Savannah to delete and recreate it, but obviously this broke
existing cloned repos and the easiest solution is to clone it again:
git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/gnokii/gnokii-extras.git

If you try to pull from inside your old repo you'll probably get
something like this (copied here to make search engines happy):

$ git pull
