There is no magic here.  I just run a simple script from time to time
(it's not even a cron job).  I cannot promise that it will happen
forever.

I suggest that you don't rely on the git repository as it is now.  I
don't want to be in the position that others depend on me running
something every day or on my machine being up and running.

If you really need a git repository, I suggest that you make your own
mirror or take over the mirroring process on repo.or.cz and make it
automatic.  You'll need a user account on repo.or.cz for the later.

Just in case, that's the script I'm using:

#!/bin/sh

GRUB2_GIT_DIR=/home/proski/src/grub2-git
GRUB2_CVS_AUTHORS=/home/proski/local/grub-cvs-authors
GRUB2_CVS_ROOT=:pserver:anoncvs@cvs.savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/grub
GRUB2_GIT_REPO=git+ssh://repo.or.cz/srv/git/grub2.git

cd "$GRUB2_GIT_DIR"
git-cvsimport -d "$GRUB2_CVS_ROOT" -C "$GRUB2_GIT_DIR" -k -u -A \
  "$GRUB2_CVS_AUTHORS" -a grub2

git-update-server-info
git-gc --prune
git-push --all "$GRUB2_GIT_REPO"
