git-cvsimport feature request

git-cvsimport feature request

[Nguyen Thai Ngoc Duy]

Well it's not really a feature but just for convenience. I suggest
after git-cvsimport successfully imports from CVS, it creates cvsup
alias with given arguments. Later if I want to update from CVS, I only
need to "git cvsup" instead of typing the the same command with full
of arguments again.
