[RFC/PATCH] cvsexportcommit: per branch cvsdir config option

This lets the user of git cvsexportcommit specify a cvs working dir on a per
branch basis.

Signed-off-by: Bert Wesarg <redacted>

---

The config variable name is currently cvsexportcommit.<branch>.cvsdir, but
could also be branch.<branch>.cvsdir. Or whatever is prefereable.

Your suggested names are fine and the idea is sound.
