cvs2svn: cvs2git Documentation

cvs2svn/cvs2git is a tool that can be used to migrate CVS repositories to newer version control tools, including git. git is a distributed version control system most famous for being used for Linux kernel development. The program used to convert to git, called cvs2git, is distributed as part of the cvs2svn project.

cvs2git is a far better choice in respect of git-cvsimport…

cvsimport can have trouble with vendor branches so it is important to very carefully check your newly imported repository.
