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]]
