Adds a gitcvs.dbtablenameprefix config variable, the contents of which
are prepended to any database tables names used by git-cvsserver. The
same substutions as gitcvs.dbname and gitcvs.dbuser are supported, and
any non-alphabetic characters are replaced with underscores.
A typo found in contrib/completion/git-completion.bash is also fixed.

This default regex now matches explicit values, and unfortunately in this
case gitlink was being matched by just 'link', causing the wrong inline
macro template to be applied. By renaming the macro, we can avoid being
matched by the wrong regex.

Embarrassing bug number two in my options patch.
Also enforce that --export-all is only ever used together with an
explicit whitelist. Otherwise people might export every git repository
on the whole system without realising.

Make git-cvsserver understand some options inspired by
git-daemon, namely --base-path, --export-all, --strict-paths.
Also allow the caller to specify a whitelist of allowed
directories, again similar to git-daemon.
While already adding option parsing also support the common
--help and --version options.
Rationale:
While the gitcvs.enabled configuration option already
offers means to limit git-cvsserver access to a repository,
there are some use cases where other methods of access
control prove to be more useful.
E.g. if setting up a pserver for a collection of public
repositories one might want limit the exported repositories
to exactly the directory this collection is located whithout
having to worry about other repositories that might lie around
with the configuration variable set (never trust your users ;)

Reasonably new versions of the cvs CLI client allow one to
specifiy CVS_SERVER as a method variable directly in
CVSROOT. This is way more convinient than using an
environment variable since it gets saved in CVS/Root.
Since I only discovered this by accident I guess there
might be others out there that learnt CVS on the 1.11
series (or even earlier) and profit from such a note
about cvs improvements in the last couple years.

Add a note about the branches -> modules mapping to LIMITATIONS because
I really think it should be noted there and not just at the end of
the installation step-by-step HOWTO.
I used "git branches" there and changed "heads" to "branches" in
my section about database configuration. I'm reluctant to replace
all occourences of "head" with "branch" though because you always
have to say "git branch" because CVS also has the concept of
branches. You can say "head" though, because there is no such
concept in CVS. In all the existing occourences of head other than
the one I changed I think "head" flows better in the text.

git-cvsserver is highly functional. However, not all methods are implemented,
and for those methods that are implemented, not all switches are implemented.
All the common read operations are implemented, and add/remove/commit are
supported.
Testing has been done using both the CLI CVS client, and the Eclipse CVS
plugin. Most functionality works fine with both of these clients.
Currently git-cvsserver only works over SSH connections, see the
Documentation for more details on how to configure your client. It
does not support pserver for anonymous access but it should not be
hard to implement. Anonymous access will need tighter input validation.
In our very informal tests, it seems to be significantly faster than a real
CVS server.
This utility depends on a version of git-cvsannotate that supports -S and on
DBD::SQLite.
