Introducing: git-cvsexportcommit
A script that can replay commits git into a CVS checkout. Tries to ensure the
sanity of the operation and supports mainly manual usage.
If you are reckless enough, you can ask it to autocommit when everything has
applied cleanly. Combined with a couple more scripts could become part of
a git2cvs gateway.
Should support adds/removes and binary files.
