Description:

git-cvsimport from git 1.8.1 does not work with cvsps > 2.2b1 due to options it relies on having been removed

cvsps is listed as an optional dependency for git, but no constraint on version is specified. Perhaps a cvsps2 package should be made with the older version?

Steps to reproduce:

run git cvsimport with a recent cvsps
This task depends upon

Arch maintainers: Please do the same thing you did for python 2/3.
add cvsps2 to the repo, rename the binary and man pages to "cvsps2" and modify git to run cvsps2.

The AUR package <https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/cvsps2> worked for me. I suggest changing the dependency for Git to something like

cvsps2: git cvsimport

Otherwise, please get rid of the suggestion to install “cvsps”, which is misleading because it currently implies version 3.
