The above obviously is "Git _after_ this series". Git before this series that only has cvsps2 support may be broken and Git after this series, when used with cvsps2, may be broken, but is broken the same way as before, so it is not a net loss. The users of distros that are slow to update cvsps can still use cvsimport-3 with cvsps3 that is manually installed, and the users of distros that ship cvsps3 will use cvsimport-3 and they can migrate away from cvsps2's breakage.
