Add "-z fuzz" argument, passed to cvsps, and clean up argument
processing. Also, use "cvsps --cvs-direct", which is is somewhat
faster.
Give the user the option of specifying the timestamp fuzz passed to
cvsps. Looking at the other arguments to it, I can't see anything else
that would be sane to play with. Also, use --cvs-direct, which speeds
up cvsps for remote repositories and doesn't seem to do anything bad to
local repositories.

This patch adds some sanity checking to git-cvsimport-script,
specifically forcing the use of cvsps -x (to get the latest information
from the repository, rather than whatever is in the cache) and aborting
early if cvsps does not produce any output.
I debated removing the $MODULE directory following an abort, but I
eventually decided leaving stuff behind would make debugging easier. On
the other hand, this patch should help with the "cvsimport left me with
an empty repository" complaints.
Call cvsps with the -x flag, to get the current state of the repository,
and abort the cvs import early if cvsps does not produce any output.

This gets the "cvs2git" program from the old git-tools
archive, and adds a nice script around it that makes it
much easier to use.
With this, you should be able to import a CVS archive
using just a simple
git cvsimport <cvsroot> <module>
and you're done. At least it worked for my one single test.
NOTE!! This may need tweaking. It currently expects (and
verifies) that cvsps version 2.1 is installed, but you
can't actually set any of the cvsps parameters, like the
time fuzz.
