Actual git cvsimport users get the real vote.

But yes, I would like to break current behavior for cvsimport.r, since
the current behavior is insane.  On the other hand, I think it is fine
to preserve the current behavior for cvsimport.d.

Meanwhile we would get better documentation and self-describing
command lines:

	git cvsimport --cvshead=master --authors-file=$(pwd)/.git/cvs-authors \
		... etc ...

Perhaps it is a case of everyone knowing what an ugly shed is and thus
spending the time to make it a little better.

Anyway, feel free to ignore me in this case if you want.
