Converting a CVS repository to git

With the recent loss of trust in SourceForge as a reputable open-source hosting platform, I decided to see how difficult it would be to move the CVS repository for AdPlug off SourceForge, and over to GitHub. As it turned out, the process is relatively straightforward once you work out what needs to be done.

For this process I used cvs2git, which is part of the cvs2svn project. There are a handful of other alternative tools available, but this one seems to be the most recommended.
