Now that I have considered, it makes more sense to put the
machinery in git-cvsexportcommit.

The user could use a -b flag to specify the git branch to push
into after the cvs commit occurs, and git-cvsexportcommit would
update the .git/SCM_IMPORT file (changed from CVS_IMPORT).

Of course, this introduces other troubles.

Sometimes I run cvsexportcommit using a git repo on another server.
So perhaps one should also be able to use cvsexportcommit for just
pushing and editing the .git/SCM_IMPORT file.

That way it's possible to update CVS and then notify any other git
repo by hand.
