-> Well, if this really is a script error, it's not really the script, but the wordpress XML dump, referring to a
-> possible malformed or invalid unicode character in the dump file. This is what I can gather from other scripts.
-> I'll be checking my dump file shortly.

+> 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]]
