DESCRIPTION

Exports a commit from GIT to a CVS checkout, making it easier
to merge patches from a git repository into a CVS repository.
-Execute it from the root of the CVS working copy. GIT_DIR must be defined.
-See examples below.
+Specify the name of a CVS checkout using the -w switch or execute it
+from the root of the CVS working copy. In the latter case GIT_DIR must
+be defined. See examples below.
It does its best to do the safe thing, it will check that the files are
unchanged and up to date in the CVS checkout, and it will not autocommit
