The problem with two-way is that CVS is so anemic, feature-wise,
compared to git that going from CVS to git is problematic.  I suppose
you could set it up so that all changes coming from CVS were imported
into a separate git branch, then they'd need to be merged to the head
branch.  Or maybe you could configure some kind of mapping between CVS
branches and git branches.

Someone must have done this kind of thing before.  I'll check with the
Savannah folks about what's available.
