+======================

+NAME
+----
+git-cvsexportcommit - Export a commit to a CVS checkout
+
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+git-cvsapplycommmit.perl
+ [ -h ] [ -v ] [ -c ] [ -p ] [PARENTCOMMIT] COMMITID
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+Exports a commit from GIT to a CVS checkout, making it easier
+to merge patches from a git repository into a CVS repository.
+
+Execute it from the root of the CVS working copy. GIT_DIR must be defined.
+
+It does its best to do the safe thing, it will check that the files are
+unchanged and up to date in the CVS checkout, and it will not autocommit
+by default.
+
+Supports file additions, removals, and commits that affect binary files.
+
+If the commit is a merge commit, you must tell git-cvsapplycommit what parent
+should the changeset be done against.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+
+-c::
+ Commit automatically if the patch applied cleanly. It will not
+ commit if any hunks fail to apply or there were other problems.
+
+-p::
+ Be pedantic (paranoid) when applying patches. Invokes patch with
+ --fuzz=0
+
+-v::
+ Verbose.
