Best way of converting CVS repo to git ?

[Øystein Schønning-Johansen]

Hi, savannah-users!

I'm one of the maintainers/developers of the GNU project GNU Backgammon
(gnubg) and we are actually still using CVS as our main repo. We would like
to convert our main code base to git, as we strongly believe this has
become the new standard for developing open source projects. Hopefully,
converting from CVS to git will attract new contributors to the project.

The question is: How is it best to do this?

I have already added the git feature on the project admin page, but the git
repo is (of course) still empty.

Best regards,
