I had a git repository for development of rsync and wanted to start importing the upstream CVS with git-cvsimport, but git-cvsimport saw that the git repository existed and insisted on updating a previous import. This patch adds an -N option to git-cvsimport to force a new import and updates the documentation appropriately. Signed-off-by: Matt McCutchen <matt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- I implemented this because I needed it; adopt it in the main git if you like it.
