I tried:

git-cvsimport -v -C /export/csrc/import_test/test.git -d $CVSROOT . git-cvsimport -v -C /export/csrc/import_test/test.git -d $CVSROOT ,

as well as the suggested ln -s tricks and none worked. I've now got a copy of the actual repo from the cvs server so I'll try and fake up a "supermodule" to contain the tree.

Any pointers always appreciated :-)
