already has a special meaning for Git.
	When a remote is specified the `HEAD` branch is named
	remotes/<remote>/master mirroring 'git clone' behaviour.
	Use this option if you want to import into a different
	branch.
+
Use '-o master' for continuing an import that was initially done by
the old cvs2git tool.

-i::
	Import-only: don't perform a checkout after importing.  This option
	ensures the working directory and index remain untouched and will
	not create them if they do not exist.

-k::
	Kill keywords: will extract files with '-kk' from the CVS archive
	to avoid noisy changesets. Highly recommended, but off by default
	to preserve compatibility with early imported trees.

-u::
	Convert underscores in tag and branch names to dots.

-s <subst>::
	Substitute the character "/" in branch names with <subst>

-p <options-for-cvsps>::
	Additional options for cvsps.
	The options `-u` and '-A' are implicit and should not be used here.
+
If you need to pass multiple options, separate them with a comma.

-z <fuzz>::
	Pass the timestamp fuzz factor to cvsps, in seconds. If unset,
	cvsps defaults to 300s.

-P <cvsps-output-file>::
	Instead of calling cvsps, read the provided cvsps output file. Useful
	for debugging or when cvsps is being handled outside cvsimport.

-m::
	Attempt to detect merges based on the commit message. This option
	will enable default regexes that try to capture the source
	branch name from the commit message.

-M <regex>::
	Attempt to detect merges based on the commit message with a custom
	regex. It can be used with `-m` to enable the default regexes
	as well. You must escape forward slashes.
+
The regex must capture the source branch name in $1.
+
This option can be used several times to provide several detection regexes.

-S <regex>::
	Skip paths matching the regex.

-a::
	Import all commits, including recent ones. cvsimport by default
	skips commits that have a timestamp less than 10 minutes ago.

-L <limit>::
	Limit the number of commits imported. Workaround for cases where
	cvsimport leaks memory.

-A <author-conv-file>::
	CVS by default uses the Unix username when writing its
	commit logs. Using this option and an author-conv-file
	maps the name recorded in CVS to author name, e-mail and
	optional time zone:
+
---------
	exon=Andreas Ericsson <ae@op5.se>
	spawn=Simon Pawn <spawn@frog-pond.org> America/Chicago

'git cvsimport' will make it appear as those authors had
