I have a git repository that is updated via cvsimport from the central CVS, with patches of mine managed by StGIT and git.

In other words, I am doing what cvsexportcommit ought to be doing by hand. >> I know this script originally came from southern hemisphere, but >> I was talking about _western_ hemisphere.
