Seems like a git-cvsimport glitch; can you clone the imported
repository locally (using the pathname as repository specifier)?

This should be fixable by a simple "git checkout master"[1] in the
imported repository, before rsyncing it back to clnet.

1. You may or may not need to do a "git reset --hard" before that,
depending on the state git-cvsimport left the repository in.

If it plays nicely, you shouldn't need to.
