parsecvs tool now creates git repositories

I've hacked in cheesy system(3) calls to invoke various git tools to create a git repository from a parsed cvs repository. It's about the same speed as git-cvsimport now.

The UI is a total disaster, sufficient for testing. You must create an Authors file in the current directory which looks like the git-cvsimport authors file. You must also have a edit-change-log program in your path which edits the commit message in place. /bin/true will work if you don't need to edit the messages.

I should clearly steal the existing git-cvsimport command line arguments and use those.

This tool successfully, and usefully, imports the X.org xserver CVS repository, along with correctly importing several other repositories I've tried. It doesn't quite manage to compute correct branch points for the postgresql CVS repository, so there is clearly work remaining to be done.

CVS - your code's worst nightmare.
