15DESCRIPTION
16-----------
17Exports a commit from GIT to a CVS checkout, making it easier
18to merge patches from a git repository into a CVS repository.
19
20Execute it from the root of the CVS working copy. GIT_DIR must be defined.
21
22It does its best to do the safe thing, it will check that the files are
23unchanged and up to date in the CVS checkout, and it will not autocommit
24by default.
25
26Supports file additions, removals, and commits that affect binary files.
27
28If the commit is a merge commit, you must tell git-cvsapplycommit what parent
29should the changeset be done against.
