[PATCH] Use git-tag in git-cvsimport

From: Elvis Pranskevichus <el@prans.net>
Date: Jun 3, 2007, 06:56 UTC
Message-ID: <11808537962798-git-send-email-el@prans.net>

Currently git-cvsimport tries to create tag objects directly via git-mktag in a very broken way, e.g the stuff it writes into the tagger field of the tag object doesn't really resemble the GIT_COMMITTER_IDENT. This makes gitweb and possibly other tools that try to interpret tag objects to be confused about tag date and authorship.

Fix this by calling git-tag instead. This also has a nice side effect of not creating the tag object but only the lightweight tag as that's the only thing CVS has anyways.
