Does git-cvsserver expect all changes to be via CVS?

Hello,

Still messing around with git-cvsserver. It's behaving very strangely, and it occurred to me that I have not appreciated that there might be a limitation in it.

Here's what I did.

* CVS user checks out a branch from the repository
* CVS user adds new directory and files
* CVS user checks them in
* git user updates a tracking branch and then working branch to
  match latest
* git user makes changes to same files
* git user checks in and pushes the branch
* CVS user runs cvs update

CVS user can't see the changes; forced updates simply checkout the same files he's just checked in.

I deleted the sqlite table from the git repository and ran the CVS update again and this time the changed files arrived (but only after a forced update).

My question then is: does git-cvsserver require that all changes go via itself? Does it expect you not to use normal git on that repository any more?
