[PATCH not ready]: allow cvsimport to use compression when talking to remote cvs server

[Arkadiusz Miskiewicz]

This patch adds ability to git cvsimport use compression
when talking to remote cvs pserver (in normal cvs client using compression
makes things a lot faster so it should help here, too).

Unfortunately it doesn't work due to: new IO::Uncompress::RawInflate()
hanging at constructor. No idea why constructor wants to do read()
over a socket. Maybe whole IO::Compress stuff isn't ready to work over
sockets (that's the question to perl gurus).

Fell free to make it working/improve it. I have no idea how to make it work
at this moment.
