Importing a CVS archive
-----------------------
NOTE: These instructions use the `git-cvsimport` script which ships with
git, but other importers may provide better results. See the note in
linkgit:git-cvsimport[1] for other options.
First, install version 2.1 or higher of cvsps from
http://www.cobite.com/cvsps/[http://www.cobite.com/cvsps/] and make
https://github.com/andreyvit/cvsps[https://github.com/andreyvit/cvsps] and make
sure it is in your path. Then cd to a checked out CVS working directory
of the project you are interested in and run linkgit:git-cvsimport[1]:
