  17DESCRIPTION
  18-----------
  19Imports a CVS repository into git. It will either create a new
  20repository, or incrementally import into an existing one.
  21
  22Splitting the CVS log into patch sets is done by 'cvsps'.
  23At least version 2.1 is required.
  24
  25OPTIONS
  26-------
  27-d <CVSROOT>::
  28        The root of the CVS archive. May be local (a simple path) or remote;
  29        currently, only the :local:, :ext: and :pserver: access methods 
  30        are supported.
  31
  32-C <target-dir>::
  33        The GIT repository to import to.  If the directory doesn't
  34        exist, it will be created.  Default is the current directory.
  35
  36-i::
  37        Import-only: don't perform a checkout after importing.  This option
  38        ensures the working directory and cache remain untouched and will
  39        not create them if they do not exist.
  40
  41-o <branch-for-HEAD>::
  42        The 'HEAD' branch from CVS is imported to the 'origin' branch within
  43        the git repository, as 'HEAD' already has a special meaning for git.
  44        Use this option if you want to import into a different branch.
  45
  46        Use '-o master' for continuing an import that was initially done by
  47        the old cvs2git tool.
  48
  49-p <options-for-cvsps>::
  50        Additional options for cvsps.
  51        The options '-u' and '-A' are implicit and should not be used here.
  52
  53        If you need to pass multiple options, separate them with a comma.
  54
  55-v::
  56        Verbosity: let 'cvsimport' report what it is doing.
  57
  58<CVS_module>::
  59        The CVS module you want to import. Relative to <CVSROOT>.
  60
  61-h::
  62        Print a short usage message and exit.
  63
  64-z <fuzz>::
  65        Pass the timestamp fuzz factor to cvsps.
  66
  67OUTPUT
  68------
  69If '-v' is specified, the script reports what it is doing.
  70
  71Otherwise, success is indicated the Unix way, i.e. by simply exiting with
  72a zero exit status.
