Currently git-cvsimport tries to create tag objects directly via git-mktag
in a very broken way, e.g the stuff it writes into the tagger field of
the tag object doesn't really resemble the GIT_COMMITTER_IDENT. This makes
gitweb and possibly other tools that try to interpret tag objects to be
confused about tag date and authorship.
Fix this by calling git-tag instead. This also has a nice side effect of
not creating the tag object but only the lightweight tag as that's the only
thing CVS has anyways.

cvsimport creates any branches found in the remote CVS repository
in the refs/heads namespace. This makes sense for a repository
conversion. When using git as a sane interface to a remote CVS
repository, that repository may well remain as the 'master'
respository. In this model it makes sense to import the CVS
repository into the refs/remotes namespace.
Add a new option '-r <remote>' to set the remote name for
this import. When this option is specified branches are named
refs/remotes/<remote>/branch, with HEAD named as master matching
git-clone separate remotes layout. Without branches are placed
ion refs/heads, with HEAD named origin as before.

With this patch, cvsimport will skip commits made
in the last 10 minutes. The recent-ness test is of
5 minutes + cvsps fuzz window (5 minutes default).
When working with a CVS repository that is in use,
importing commits that are too recent can lead to
partially incorrect trees. This is mainly due to
- Commits that are within the cvsps fuzz window may later
be found to have affected more files.
- When performing incremental imports, clock drift between
the systems may lead to skipped commits.
This commit helps keep incremental imports of in-use
CVS repositories sane.

This patch adds support for 'proxy' and 'proxyport' connection options
when using the pserver method for the CVS Root.
It has been tested with a Squid 2.5.x proxy server.
Quoting from the CVS info manual:
The `gserver' and `pserver' connection methods all accept optional
method options, specified as part of the METHOD string, like so:
:METHOD[;OPTION=ARG...]:
Currently, the only two valid connection options are `proxy', which
takes a hostname as an argument, and `proxyport', which takes a port
number as an argument. These options can be used to connect via an HTTP
tunnel style web proxy. For example, to connect pserver via a web proxy
at www.myproxy.net and port 8000, you would use a method of:
:pserver;proxy=www.myproxy.net;proxyport=8000:
*NOTE: The rest of the connection string is required to connect to
the server as noted in the upcoming sections on password authentication,
gserver and kserver. The example above would only modify the METHOD
portion of the repository name.*
PROXY must be supplied to connect to a CVS server via a proxy
server, but PROXYPORT will default to port 8080 if not supplied.
PROXYPORT may also be set via the CVS_PROXY_PORT environment variable.

Although I converted upstream coreutils to git last month, I just
reconverted coreutils once again, as a test, and ended up with a
git repository of about 130MB (contrast with my packed git repo of
size 52MB). That was because there were a lot of commits (but < 1024)
after the final automatic "git-repack -a -d".
Running a final
git-repack -a -d && git-prune-packed
cut the final repository size down to the expected size.
So this looks like an easy way to improve git-cvsimport.
Just run "git repack ..." at the end if there's more than
some reasonable amount of not-packed data.
My choice of 1MB is a little arbitrarily. I wouldn't mind missing
the minimal repo size by 1MB. At the other end of the spectrum,
it's probably not worthwhile to pack everything when the total
repository size is less than 1MB.
Here's the patch:

cvsimport opens all of the files in $GIT_DIR/refs/heads and reads
out the sha1's in order to work out what time the last commit on
that branch was made (in CVS) thus allowing incremental updates.
However, this takes no account of hierachical refs naming producing
the following error for each directory in $GIT_DIR/refs:
Use of uninitialized value in chomp at /usr/bin/git-cvsimport line 503.
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at
/usr/bin/git-cvsimport line 505.
usage: git-cat-file [-t|-s|-e|-p|<type>] <sha1>

This change attempts to clean up the commit function to make it a bit
easier to read (or at least the first half of it). It also improves
robustness and performance. Specifically:
- report get_headref errors on opening ref unless the error is ENOENT
- use regex to check for sha1 instead of length
- use lexically scoped filehandles which get cleaned up automagically
- check for error on both 'print' and 'close' (since output is buffered)
- avoid "fork, do some perl, then exec" in commit(). It's not necessary,
and we probably end up COW'ing parts of the perl process. Plus the code
is much smaller because we can use open2()
- avoid calling strftime over and over (mainly a readability cleanup)

Documentation says -i is "import only", so without it,
subsequent import should update the current branch and working
tree files in a sensible way.
"A sensible way" defined by this commit is "act as if it is a
git pull from foreign repository which happens to be CVS not
git". So:
- If importing into the current branch (note that cvsimport
requires the tracking branch is pristine -- you checked out
the tracking branch but it is your responsibility not to make
your own commits there), fast forward the branch head and
match the index and working tree using two-way merge, just
like "git pull" does.
- If importing into a separate tracking branch, update that
branch head, and merge it into your current branch, again,
just like "git pull" does.

The read_author_info() subroutine is taught to also understand
the user list in CVSROOT/users format. This is primarily done
