Tie a CVS-aware app into GIT?

I have an application (closed source, unfortunately) that can use CVS to manage its files (specifically, Enterprise Architect by Sparx).

I'd rather use GIT to manage the files, but EA doesn't "speak" git - just CVS and Subversion (and Microsoft's SCC protocol, but...)

Are there any programs which
1) accept the same command line parameters as CVS or Subversion
and
2) access a GIT repository.

git-svn is almost exactly NOT what I need, as it accepts "git" type command line parameters and access a SVN repo, rather than accepting SVN command line parameters and accessing a GIT repo.

Now, obviously, such a tool wouldn't have access to all the things that GIT can do, and that is NOT what I am expecting - what I want is just to enable EA to do the things it needs to do, namely adding/removing/moving files from a repo. Branching, commits, and so on can be done manually.

I've thought about git-cvsserver as a solution, but I don't know if it can be run on a local machine to access a local repository.

I'd appreciate any help on this.

Even though the docs say you can't (well, you should have to run it over pserver) ISTR there is a way to get the cvs client to instantiate a server using the CVS_SERVER envvar even for local ops.

Worth checking in the more detailed CVS user guide.

What makes you there would be an issue here?

Mostly just paranoia, a lack of experience with it, and a general brain-overload because of the bazillion other things I'm trying to work through. I was hoping I might get good pointers from somebody who's already done something like this.
