Subject: [ANNOUNCE] gc-utils 0.1.0

Hello,

I would like to announce a porcelain on git-cvsimport and
git-cvsexportcommit which I'm working on for a few month now.
It tries to provide a simple import, update, commit commandset
to synchronize your GIT repository with CVS. It runs on most shells
like bash, zsh, ash (not csh and tcsh).

gc-utils 0.1.0 is available from http://gcutils.sourceforge.net

Description:
 gc-utils is a set of bash scripts (git-cvs* porcelain) wrapping git-cvsimport
 and git-cvsexportcommit to make importing from CVS and commiting back easier.

Tarballs can be found here:
  http://downloads.experimentalworks.net/gcutils-v0.1.0.tar.gz

GIT tree can be found here:
  http://git.experimentalworks.net/?p=gcutils.git

This release tries to focus on improving the test suite and to fix smaller
bugs as well as doing some code clean up.

Feedback and patches are welcome.

            David
