[darcs-users] error 'head: empty list' on importing Git repository

[Henning Thielemann]

I try to import a small Git repository to Darcs following to this hint:

http://darcs.net/Using/Convert#importing-from-git

$ cabal get --source-repository=head QuickCheck-GenT
cloning 'QuickCheck-GenT' ...
...
$ (cd QuickCheck-GenT; git fast-export --all --progress 500) | darcs-2.14.1 convert import QuickCheck-GenT-darcs

darcs-2.14.1: Prelude.head: empty list


It leaves a bit of a Darcs repository infrastructure but there is no list 
of changes. :-(
