14DESCRIPTION
15-----------
16Exports a commit from GIT to a CVS checkout, making it easier
17to merge patches from a git repository into a CVS repository.

19Execute it from the root of the CVS working copy. GIT_DIR must be defined.
20
21It does its best to do the safe thing, it will check that the files are
22unchanged and up to date in the CVS checkout, and it will not autocommit
23by default.
24
25Supports file additions, removals, and commits that affect binary files.
26
27If the commit is a merge commit, you must tell git-cvsapplycommit what parent
28should the changeset be done against.
