The real workaround is not to import into live branches,
which is not a git-cvs-specific problem, so I didn't add that
to its manpage.

I'm not opposed to an appropriate patch if you think its necessary.
If you do, keep in mind that there are other git-*import scripts out

neglected to be done early, it will frequently happen that it will not be done
at all.
