 $ myrepository='pserver:address@hidden' # Or whatever you usually use for CVS

-If your project is old, git-cvsimport may take a long time.
 $ git-cvsimport -A ../authors.txt -p x -v -d:${myrepository}:/sources/$project 
$module

Adjust the -d to be whatever you use to checkout CVS; the nongnu address won't 
be correct if your project is a gnu project. If your project is old or has lots 
of commits, git-cvsimport may take a long time. 

??changed:
-On your project page, activate `git`. For example the libcdio project the URL 
for the project page is:

"activated" is in the second column and the "git" row is midway down the page. 
If you forget to do this or git is not active, you may get a message like this::

  Pushing to address@hidden:/srv/git/libcdio.git
  fatal: '/srv/git/libcdio.git': unable to chdir or not a git archive
  fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

??changed:
- git push --tags -v address@hidden:/srv/git/project.git

-Similarly remember to use the '--all' flags to push all branches, not just the 
'master' one.
 $ login='mylogin'
 $ project='myproject'
 $ git push --tags -v address@hidden:/srv/git/${project}.git

Similarly remember to use the '--all' flags to push all branches, not just the 
'master' one:

 $ git push --all -v address@hidden:/srv/git/${project}.git

If you have branches and you don't push all branches when you do a git-clone 
you may get error messages like the one below::
