+'git cvsimport' [-o <branch-for-HEAD>] [-h] [-v] [-d <CVSROOT>]
+	      [-A <author-conv-file>] [-p <options-for-cvsps>] [-P <file>]
+	      [-C <git_repository>] [-z <fuzz>] [-i] [-k] [-u] [-s <subst>]

+	      [-r <remote>] [-R] [<CVS_module>]
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+*WARNING:* `git cvsimport` uses cvsps version 2, which is considered
+deprecated; it does not work with cvsps version 3 and later.  If you are
+performing a one-shot import of a CVS repository consider using
+http://cvs2svn.tigris.org/cvs2git.html[cvs2git] or
+http://www.catb.org/esr/cvs-fast-export/[cvs-fast-export].
+
+Imports a CVS repository into Git. It will either create a new
+repository, or incrementally import into an existing one.
+
+Splitting the CVS log into patch sets is done by 'cvsps'.
+At least version 2.1 is required.
+
+*WARNING:* for certain situations the import leads to incorrect results.
+Please see the section <<issues,ISSUES>> for further reference.
+
+You should *never* do any work of your own on the branches that are
+created by 'git cvsimport'.  By default initial import will create and populate a
+"master" branch from the CVS repository's main branch which you're free
+to work with; after that, you need to 'git merge' incremental imports, or
+any CVS branches, yourself.  It is advisable to specify a named remote via
+-r to separate and protect the incoming branches.
+
+If you intend to set up a shared public repository that all developers can
+read/write, or if you want to use linkgit:git-cvsserver[1], then you
+probably want to make a bare clone of the imported repository,
+and use the clone as the shared repository.
+See linkgit:gitcvs-migration[7].
+
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+-v::
+	Verbosity: let 'cvsimport' report what it is doing.
+
+-d <CVSROOT>::
+	The root of the CVS archive. May be local (a simple path) or remote;
+	currently, only the :local:, :ext: and :pserver: access methods
+	are supported. If not given, 'git cvsimport' will try to read it
+	from `CVS/Root`. If no such file exists, it checks for the
+	`CVSROOT` environment variable.
+
+<CVS_module>::
+	The CVS module you want to import. Relative to <CVSROOT>.
+	If not given, 'git cvsimport' tries to read it from
+	`CVS/Repository`.
+
+-C <target-dir>::
+	The Git repository to import to.  If the directory doesn't
+        exist, it will be created.  Default is the current directory.
+
+-r <remote>::
+	The Git remote to import this CVS repository into.
+	Moves all CVS branches into remotes/<remote>/<branch>
+	akin to the way 'git clone' uses 'origin' by default.
+
+-o <branch-for-HEAD>::
+	When no remote is specified (via -r) the `HEAD` branch
+	from CVS is imported to the 'origin' branch within the Git
+	repository, as `HEAD` already has a special meaning for Git.
+	When a remote is specified the `HEAD` branch is named
+	remotes/<remote>/master mirroring 'git clone' behaviour.
+	Use this option if you want to import into a different
+	branch.
++
+Use '-o master' for continuing an import that was initially done by
+the old cvs2git tool.
+
+-i::
+	Import-only: don't perform a checkout after importing.  This option
+	ensures the working directory and index 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.
+
+-u::
+	Convert underscores in tag and branch names to dots.
+
+-s <subst>::
+	Substitute the character "/" in branch names with <subst>
+
+-p <options-for-cvsps>::
+	Additional options for cvsps.
+	The options `-u` and '-A' are implicit and should not be used here.
++
+If you need to pass multiple options, separate them with a comma.
+
+-z <fuzz>::
+	Pass the timestamp fuzz factor to cvsps, in seconds. If unset,
+	cvsps defaults to 300s.
+
+-P <cvsps-output-file>::
+	Instead of calling cvsps, read the provided cvsps output file. Useful
+	for debugging or when cvsps is being handled outside cvsimport.
+
+-m::
+	Attempt to detect merges based on the commit message. This option
+	will enable default regexes that try to capture the source
+	branch name from the commit message.
+
+-M <regex>::
+	Attempt to detect merges based on the commit message with a custom
+	regex. It can be used with `-m` to enable the default regexes
+	as well. You must escape forward slashes.
++
+The regex must capture the source branch name in $1.
++
+This option can be used several times to provide several detection regexes.
+
+-S <regex>::
+	Skip paths matching the regex.
+
+-a::
+	Import all commits, including recent ones. cvsimport by default
+	skips commits that have a timestamp less than 10 minutes ago.
+
+-L <limit>::
+	Limit the number of commits imported. Workaround for cases where
+	cvsimport leaks memory.
+
+-A <author-conv-file>::
+	CVS by default uses the Unix username when writing its
+	commit logs. Using this option and an author-conv-file
+	maps the name recorded in CVS to author name, e-mail and
+	optional time zone:
++
+---------
+	exon=Andreas Ericsson <ae@op5.se>
+	spawn=Simon Pawn <spawn@frog-pond.org> America/Chicago
+
+---------
++
+'git cvsimport' will make it appear as those authors had
+their GIT_AUTHOR_NAME and GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL set properly
+all along.  If a time zone is specified, GIT_AUTHOR_DATE will
+have the corresponding offset applied.
++
+For convenience, this data is saved to `$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 cvsexportcommit'.
+
+-R::
+	Generate a `$GIT_DIR/cvs-revisions` file containing a mapping from CVS
+	revision numbers to newly-created Git commit IDs.  The generated file
+	will contain one line for each (filename, revision) pair imported;
+	each line will look like
++
+---------
+src/widget.c 1.1 1d862f173cdc7325b6fa6d2ae1cfd61fd1b512b7
+---------
++
+The revision data is appended to the file if it already exists, for use when
+doing incremental imports.
++
+This option may be useful if you have CVS revision numbers stored in commit
+messages, bug-tracking systems, email archives, and the like.
+
+-h::
+	Print a short usage message and exit.
+
+OUTPUT
+------
+If `-v` is specified, the script reports what it is doing.
+
+Otherwise, success is indicated the Unix way, i.e. by simply exiting with
+a zero exit status.

+ISSUES
+------
+Problems related to timestamps:
+
+ * If timestamps of commits in the CVS repository are not stable enough
+   to be used for ordering commits changes may show up in the wrong
+   order.
+ * If any files were ever "cvs import"ed more than once (e.g., import of
+   more than one vendor release) the HEAD contains the wrong content.
+ * If the timestamp order of different files cross the revision order
+   within the commit matching time window the order of commits may be
+   wrong.
+
+Problems related to branches:
+
+ * Branches on which no commits have been made are not imported.
+ * All files from the branching point are added to a branch even if
+   never added in CVS.
+ * This applies to files added to the source branch *after* a daughter
+   branch was created: if previously no commit was made on the daughter
+   branch they will erroneously be added to the daughter branch in git.
+
+Problems related to tags:
+
+* Multiple tags on the same revision are not imported.
+
+If you suspect that any of these issues may apply to the repository you
+want to import, consider using cvs2git:
+
+* cvs2git (part of cvs2svn), `http://subversion.apache.org/`
