+ CVS by default uses the unix username when writing its + commit logs. Using this option and an author-conv-file + in this format +
+exon=Andreas Ericsson <ae@op5.se> +spawn=Simon Pawn <spawn@frog-pond.org>+
git-cvsimport will make it appear as those authors had +their GIT_AUTHOR_NAME and GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL set properly +all along.+
For convenience, this data is saved to $GIT_DIR/cvs-authors +each time the -A option is provided and read from that same +file each time git-cvsimport is run.+
It is not recommended to use this feature if you intend to +export changes back to CVS again later with +git-link[1]::git-cvsexportcommit.+
