My assumption is:
* the original cvs repo will have later additions
(so I'm incrementally importing)
* no commints (besides cvsimport) in the git mirror, but others
for off from there
* the mirror could get lost in an desaster (no separate backup)
and should be recreated afresh in that case.
The point behind this is: I'm running a growing number of cvs2git
mirrors and dont want to do full backups of them.
