I seem unable to reproduce the problem from a simple test program :-(

I attach the diffs for my test code in /sys/src/cmd/cvs/src/import.c.
If CVS exists as 8.out, the following commands should exhibit the
behaviour above:

% CVSROOT=$home/cvsroot
% mkdir $CVSROOT
% 8.out init
% cd /sys/src
% .../8.out import -mTest test ABC DEF

At this point, one can crash 8.out and remove the spurious
directories before filling up the repository.
