How to import data from a cvs repo into git repo

Often users request their git repos to be imported from an existing cvs repo. This is a two step process as follows:

git-cvsimport -v -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.fedoraproject.org/cvs/docs -C <dir> <cvs_module>

sudo git clone --bare --no-hardlinks </pathto/cvsimported/repo> /git/<git_dir>.git/

Example:

git-cvsimport -v -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.fedoraproject.org/cvs/docs -C translation-quick-start-guide translation-quick-start-guide
sudo git clone --bare --no-hardlinks translation-quick-start-guide/ /git/translation-quick-start-guide.git/
