Subject: fatal: git checkout: updating paths is incompatible with switching branches.
I'm not sure what's going on here, but it's going on. Initialized empty Git repository in /Users/brian/Desktop/mdules/.git/ importing HTTP::Size downloading HTTP-Size-1.13.tar.gz extracting distribution add 'Changes' ... add 't/test_manifest' fatal: invalid date format: . Use of uninitialized value $commit in chomp at /usr/local/perls/perl- 5.10.1/lib/site_perl/5.10.1/Git/CPAN/Patch/Import.pm line 524. commit-tree b32cdbe701c1bcfadae3d73d8d2aef9118b2afec: command returned error: 128 fatal: git checkout: updating paths is incompatible with switching branches. Did you intend to checkout 'cpan/master' which can not be resolved as commit? checkout -f -t -b master cpan/master: command returned error: 128
I'm using git 1.7.4 with Perl 5.10.1, by the way.
I figured out what this is. When you don't get the date format right, apparently no commit happens. After that, there's nothing to checkout. I just sent a github pull request for that.
