Is there an actual cvsmigration tool? According to man gitcvs-migration, one
needs to do
IMPORTING A CVS ARCHIVE
First, install version 2.1 or higher of cvsps from
http://www.cobite.com/cvsps/ and make sure it is in your path. Then cd
to a checked out CVS working directory of the project you are
interested in and run git-cvsimport(1):
$ git cvsimport -C <destination> <module>
This puts a git archive of the named CVS module in the directory
<destination>, which will be created if necessary.
And there is a port of cvsps 2.1 in MacPorts. So you should be good to go.
