cvs2git instructions are incomplete

I followed the instructions for converting my CVS repository to git from here:

http://cvs2svn.tigris.org/cvs2git.html

However, after the 'git fast-import', I still had an empty directory (except for
'.git').  None of my source files were there.  Running 'git status', it looked
like they were scheduled for deletion.  How very odd.

Anyway, this process was the only one that worked for me:

mkdir myproject.git
cd myproject.git
git init
cat ../cvs2svn-tmp/git-blob.dat ../cvs2svn-tmp/git-dump.dat | git fast-import
git reset HEAD
git checkout-index -a

The last two commands were necessary to ensure I actually had some source files
to edit at the end of the process.

Regards,
Mark.
