Git over cvs

Hi there,

I got so annoyed by (my own incompetence using) cvs on mozdev that I got
myself to use git cvsimport/cvsexportcommit now, just shortly before it
gets obsoleted by the new shiny remote helpers, and knowing how many
failing tests we have for it now.

Setting up a convenient roundtrip with minimal exposure to cvs required
collecting some scattered info. I thought this makes a good first blog
entry (the one after the zeroth) for reference, so in case anyone is
interested:

I guess it does require some acquaintance with Git, that's intentional.
(In short it uses the combined work tree, -W approach.)

Cheers,
Michael

P.S.: There's AdSense on there. I assume you block it anyway using
NoScript, AdBlock etc.  if you don't like it.
