+To make things a bit easier, add eg. this stanza to ~/sbcl-git/.git/config:
+
+ [alias]
+ sbcl-export = ! cd ~/sbcl-cvs && GIT_DIR=~/sbcl-git/.git git-cvsexportcommit -v
+
+Then you can just run
+
+ git sbcl-export foo-hacks-to-cvs
+
+from inside ~/sbcl-git/, and have it prepare your CVS tree for commit.
