title: How to import and keep updated a CVS repository in Git?
body: <p>There is a central repository in CVS, and I would like to use it with Git locally, and then send my changes back to CVS.</p>
  
  <p>What can I accomplish that on a daily basis?</p>
  
  <p>The tasks I would like to accomplish are:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>importing branches,</li>
  <li>getting history in GIT-like format, and </li>
  <li>exporting back my changes/commits to the centralized server</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>BTW, I have also looked at <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/595106/best-practices-for-using-git-with-cvs">Best practices for using git with CVS</a> . But It didn't work and I couldn't figure out what I missed or did wrong.</p>
