Hey Martin,

That's a neat idea, and a great way to get projects to move from CVS to GIT.

I'd recommend that you avoid providing commit access to a GIT repository 
via CVS for starters.  Many projects (eg. Wine) would benefit greatly 
from just having a way for people to get the source via CVS without 
having to write scripts to maintain a CVS tree in parallel.  Serious 
developers will use GIT if the master repository is GIT anyway.

Mike
