.. seems to be in conflict with the above paragraph. Files tagged with
RELEASE_1_0 sounds like a revision tag (i.e. not a branch). If you
want to checkout that snapshot and insert into a Git rep you could as
well just 'cvs export -r RELEASE_1_0 <module>; git init; git add .;
git commit'
but that obviously won't give you any CVS history in the Git repo.

Is RELEASE_1_0 instead a branch tag? I.e. a CVS branch?
