Hopefully Pavel can enlighten us on how  this relates to CVS.  I thought
everything was/had moved to git.  I assume that if youa dd it to CVS

For debian there is also cool tools like git-buildpackage which runs the
dbuild process straight out of the git tree and git-dch for updating the
changelog with the comments out of gits commit logs.  Definitely worth a
play.
