[PATCH] Add -k kill keyword expansion option to git-cvsimport - revised

Early versions of git-cvsimport defaulted to using preexisting keyword
expansion settings. This change preserves compatibility with existing cvs
imports and allows new repository migrations to kill keyword expansion.

After exploration of the different -k modes in the cvs protocol, we use -kk
which kills keyword expansion wherever possible. Against the protocol
spec, -ko and -kb will sometimes expand keywords.

Should improve our chances of detecting merges and reduce imported
repository size.

        The 'HEAD' branch from CVS is imported to the 'origin' branch within
        the git repository, as 'HEAD' already has a special meaning for git.
