That seems to work, once I figured out I had to pass in the "-o master"
option (as cvs2git didn't create an "origin" branch).
If you don't, you get a rather cryptic message:
usage: git-read-tree (<sha> | -m [-u] <sha1> [<sha2> [<sha3>]])
read-tree failed: 256
You probably want to check whether the origin branch actually
exists.
Apparently you also need to pass the '-x' option to cvsps.
Otherwise, it won't look at anything new.
It would also be nice if the user could pass extra options
to cvsps (notably '-z').
