As your version already knows how to detect the case where cvsps is
too old to operate with it, I imagine it to be straight-forward to
ship the old cvsimport under obscure name, "git cvsimport--old" or
something, and spawn it from your version when necessary, perhaps
after issuing a warning "cvsps 3.0 not found; switching to an old
and unmaintained version of cvsimport..."

This can be done.  As this may not be the last case in which it comes up,
perhaps we should have an 'obsolete' directory distinct from 'contrib'.

I'll ship another patch.

Alright; thanks.

Don't forget to sign-off your patch ;-)
