I am looking into importing a cvs repo HEAD history into git using cvsps. I read throught the thread where Ingo discussed his import of the kernel sources, but I couldn't find any pointers to what kind of shell magic or other associated scripts were used, and google hasn't helped much either.

How do I feed the patchsets into GIT preserving commit msgs and other metadata?
A related question follows: is anyone running git -> cvs gateways, and how? 
pointers to TFM will be much appreciated ;)
cheers,
martin
