+<p>git-cvsimport will make it appear as those authors had\r
+their GIT_AUTHOR_NAME and GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL set properly\r
+all along.</p>\r
+<p>For convenience, this data is saved to $GIT_DIR/cvs-authors\r
+each time the -A option is provided and read from that same\r
+file each time git-cvsimport is run.</p>\r
+<p>It is not recommended to use this feature if you intend to\r
+export changes back to CVS again later with\r
+git-link[1]::git-cvsexportcommit.</p>\r
