The current code leads to
fatal: bad config value for 'cvsimport.r' in .git/config
for a standard use case with cvsimport.r set.
cvsimport sets internal variables by checking the config for each
possible command line option. The problem is that config items are case
insensitive, so config.r and config.R are the same. The ugly error is
due to that fact that cvsimport expects a bool for -R (and thus
config.R) but a remote name for -r (and thus config.r).
Fix this by making cvsimport expect long names for uppercase options.
config options for cvsimport have been undocumented so far, though
present in the code and advertised in several tutorials. So one may read
"enhance" for "fix". Similarly, the names for the options are
"documented" in the code, waitiing for their lowercase equivalents to be
transformed into long config options, as well.

Change the Perl scripts to turn on lexical warnings instead of setting
the global $^W variable via the -w switch.
The -w sets warnings for all code that interpreter runs, while "use
warnings" is lexically scoped. The former is probably not what the
authors wanted.
As an auxiliary benefit it's now possible to build Git with:
PERL_PATH='/usr/bin/env perl'
Which would previously result in failures, since "#!/usr/bin/env perl -w"
doesn't work as a shebang.

Formalize our dependency on perl 5.8, bumped from 5.6.[12]. We already
used the three-arg form of open() which was introduced in 5.6.1, but
t/t9700/test.pl explicitly depended on 5.6.2.
However git-add--interactive.pl has been failing on the 5.6 line since
it was introduced in v1.5.0-rc0~12^2~2 back in 2006 due to this open
syntax:
sub run_cmd_pipe {
my $fh = undef;
open($fh, '-|', @_) or die;
return <$fh>;
}
Which when executed dies on "Can't use an undefined value as
filehandle reference". Several of our tests also fail on 5.6 (even
more when compiled with NO_PERL_MAKEMAKER=1):
t2016-checkout-patch.sh
t3904-stash-patch.sh
t3701-add-interactive.sh
t7105-reset-patch.sh
t7501-commit.sh
t9700-perl-git.sh
Our code is bitrotting on 5.6 with no-one interested in fixing it, and
pinning us to such an ancient release of Perl is keeping us from using
useful features introduced in the 5.8 release.
The 5.6 series is now over 10 years old, and the 5.6.2 maintenance
release almost 7. 5.8 on the other hand is more than 8 years old.
All the modern Unix-like operating systems have now upgraded to it or
a later version, and 5.8 packages are available for old IRIX, AIX
Solaris and Tru64 systems.

cvsimport: miscellaneous packed-ref fixes

There were two problems:
1. We only look at the config variable if there is no module
given on the command line. We checked this by comparing
@ARGV == 0. However, at the time of the comparison, we
have not yet parsed the dashed options, meaning that
"git cvsimport" would read the variable but "git
cvsimport -a" would not. This is fixed by simply moving
the check after the call to getopt.
2. If the config variable did not exist, we were adding an
empty string to @ARGV. The rest of the script, rather
than barfing for insufficient input, would then try to
import the module '', leading to rather confusing error
messages. Based on patch from Emanuele Giaquinta.

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.
