If you have a CVS checkout, it is easy to import the CVS history by
calling "git cvsimport". However, interacting with the CVS repository
using "git cvsexportcommit" was cumbersome, since that script assumes
separate working directories for Git and CVS.
Now, you can call cvsexportcommit with the -W option. This will
automatically discover the GIT_DIR, and it will check out the parent
commit before exporting the commit.
The intended workflow is this:
$ CVSROOT=$URL cvs co module
$ cd module
$ git cvsimport
hack, hack, hack, making two commits, cleaning them up using rebase -i.
$ git cvsexportcommit -W -c -p -u HEAD^
$ git cvsexportcommit -W -c -p -u HEAD

Many scripts compare actual and expected output using
"diff -u". This is nicer than "cmp" because the output shows
how the two differ. However, not all versions of diff
understand -u, leading to unnecessary test failure.
This adds a test_cmp function to the test scripts and
switches all "diff -u" invocations to use it. The function
uses the contents of "$GIT_TEST_CMP" to compare its
arguments; the default is "diff -u".
On systems with a less-capable diff, you can do:
GIT_TEST_CMP=cmp make test

In my use cases, "cvs status" sometimes reordered the passed filenames,
which often led to a misdetection of a dirty state (when it was in
reality a clean state).
I finally tracked it down to two filenames having the same basename.
So no longer trust the order of the results blindly, but actually check
the file name.
Since "cvs status" only returns the basename (and the complete path on the
server which is useless for our purposes), run "cvs status" several times
with lists consisting of files with unique (chomped) basenames.
Be a bit clever about new files: these are reported as "no file <blabla>",
so in order to discern it from existing files, prepend "no file " to the
basename.
In other words, one call to "cvs status" will not ask for two files
"blabla" (which does not yet exist) and "no file blabla" (which exists).
This patch makes cvsexportcommit slightly slower, when the list of changed
files has non-unique basenames, but at least it is accurate now.

When using the '-w $cvsdir' option to cvsexportcommit, it will chdir into
$cvsdir before executing several other git commands. If $GIT_DIR is set to
a relative path (e.g. '.'), the git commands executed by cvsexportcommit
will naturally fail.
Therefore, ensure that $GIT_DIR is absolute before the chdir to $cvsdir.

The testcase verifies that 'git cvsexportcommit' functions correctly when
the '-w' option is used, and GIT_DIR is set to a relative path (e.g. '.').

We at least know that the test as written has a problem in an
environment where "touch '$p'; ls | fgrep '$p'" fails, and have
a clear understand why it fails.
This tests if the filesystem has that particular issue we know "git
add" has a problem with, and skips the test in such an environment.
This way, we might catch issues "git add" might have in other environments.

The last test in t9200 wants to see if executable bit is

For the purpose of this test we do not really care if the paths
are in latin-1, but people on Cygwin seem to be having problem
on foreign-looking pathnames that do not play well with their
locale.
Let's try to re-code them in UTF-8 and see who screams,
thanks, or reports no-improvements.

This patch uses git-apply to do the patching which simplifies the code a lot
and also uses one pass to git-diff. git-apply gives information on added,
removed files as well as which files are binary.
Removed the test for checking for matching binary files when deleting them
since git-apply happily deletes the file. This is matter of taste since we
allow some fuzz for text patches also.
Error handling was cleaned up, but not much tested.
