[PATCH] Add -k kill keyword expansion option to git-cvsimport - revised
Early versions of git-cvsimport defaulted to using preexisting keyword expansion settings. This change preserves compatibility with existing cvs imports and allows new repository migrations to kill keyword expansion. After exploration of the different -k modes in the cvs protocol, we use -kk which kills keyword expansion wherever possible. Against the protocol spec, -ko and -kb will sometimes expand keywords. Should improve our chances of detecting merges and reduce imported repository size. Signed-off: Martin Langhoff <martin.langhoff@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

-o <branch-for-HEAD>::
The 'HEAD' branch from CVS is imported to the 'origin' branch within
the git repository, as 'HEAD' already has a special meaning for git.
