Subject: [PATCH] New files in git weren't being downloaded during CVS update

From: Andy Parkins <[email-masked]>

If a repository was checked out via git-cvsserver and then later a new
file is added to the git repository via some other method; a CVS update
wasn't fetching the new file.

It would be reported as a new file as
 A some/dir/newfile.c
but would never appear in the directory.

The problem (I think) is that when git-cvsserver detected a new file, it
was issuing the new file message then skipping the actual file send part
and moving to the next file its list.  In fact only an updated file
would be transmitted.

The fix is to make the added file section identical to the udpated file
section.  This additionally makes git-cvsserver behave like a
traditional CVS server and will now output
 U some/dir/newfile.c
for an added file.

This is in response to Simon Schubert's suggestion that T_ADDED is an
inappropriate category for a remotely added file.  Instead this treats
remotely added files the same as remotely changed files.
