 Imports a CVS repository into git. It will either create a new
 repository, or incrementally import into an existing one.

 At least version 2.1 is required.

+-C <target-dir>::
+        The GIT repository to import to.  If the directory doesn't

+
+-i::
+	Import-only: don't perform a checkout after importing.  This option
+	ensures the working directory and cache 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. 
 
 -o <branch-for-HEAD>::
 	The 'HEAD' branch from CVS is imported to the 'origin' branch within

+-m::    
+	Attempt to detect merges based on the commit message. This option

+-M <regex>::
+	Attempt to detect merges based on the commit message with a custom

 -v::
 	Verbosity: let 'cvsimport' report what it is doing.
 
 <CVS_module>::
 	The CVS module you want to import. Relative to <CVSROOT>.
 
-<type>::
-	Typically this matches the real type of <object> but asking
-	for a type that can trivially dereferenced from the given
