I think you are going about it the wrong way.  We just did a similar
procedure about a month or so ago.  IIRC, after the fast import is
done, you need to add a new remote pointing to the github repo in
question (git remote add github [email protected]:username/pathtorepo)
then push to the new remote (git push github master).  That should
push the files over as you expect.  You might want to read up a bit
more on remotes and pushing as there are more features available to
help you move over what you need.  There may be situations you are
trying to deal with that the info provided above doesn't address (ie:
pushing tags, etc).

This should help: http://help.github.com/create-a-repo/

If I missed anything, someone else please chime in.  I am not, by any
means, an expert on git.

Thanks,
Ryan
