Are there existing tests for git-cvsimport somewhere whose example I
could follow?  (I didn't see any in t/ .)  If not, I suppose I will just
write a simple script that runs git-cvsimport with and without -N and
with and without an existing, empty git repository and checks that the
right things happen.
